Description
Prometheus in female form — she carries fire in her hands, shielding it with her whole body from the world's icy architecture. A woman in a striped white-and-grey gown kneels in profile, holding a small orange flame in her hands. Above rises a massive blue column with an ornamented capital and vaulted arches; in the left window sits a setting red sun. Below stretch pale water and a range of pinkish mountains.
