Navigation, allegorical study with seated woman and sailors
A seated draped woman in a yellow robe, framed by a green halo, holds a stringed instrument above two men working a small boat amid churning water. A shirtless man shades his eyes beside a rope while a man in a cap pulls at an oar, with the word NAVIGATION lettered on the base beneath gold laurel borders.
