Description
English: This painting shows the nereid (or sea nymph) Amphitrite, wife of the sea god Poseidon, borne in queenly procession on the backs of dolphins and other sea creatures. The lush colors, curving bodies and cloth textures exemplify the Rococo style. The position of the sea creatures’ bodies and the sash carried by putti draw the eye towards the sea queen, reinforcing her importance.

The author died in 1785, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
