专家说明

The table is decorated in the George III 'antique' or 'Etruscan' manner with Grecian-urn tablets and a lunette with a chariot scene. The latter, associated with the History of Hercules and the Garden of the Hesperides, derives from Sir William Hamilton's 'Meidias Hydria' or water-jar illustrated in Pierre François Hugues d'Hancarville, Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities, Naples, 1766/67 (I. Jenkins & K. Sloan, Vases and Volcanoes: Sir William Hamilton and His Collection, London, 1996, no. 55, p. 180).
