Amazon attacked

The original of Mounted Amazon Attacked by a Panther (1837) stands in front of the National Museum in Berlin. It is a great work of art by Kiss depicting a bare-breasted female, seated on a rearing horse that is caught in the jaws of an attacking panther that has wrapped itself around the horse’s neck. The replica cast from this sculpture was installed at the entrance of the Philadelphia Art Museum in 1929.
