    Found this etching at an antiquarian sale. "Paris' judgement". Etching by Austrian etcher Franz Xaver Stöber (1795-1858) after a drawing by Austrian painter Johann Nepomuk Ender (1793-1854) and printed by Austrian printer Anton Strauss (1775-1827) in 1815. The three ladies are Hera, Athena (with the helmet) and Aphrodite. They all three tried to bribe Paris to make him choose them as the most beautiful. He found Aphrodites briberi most attractive and gave her the apple as a symbol of his decision. I don't know where the drawing is today. Maybe you know ?
