- Condition report: Good condition of the painted surface.

- In Greek mythology, Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, asked his father if he could ride the sun's chariot for a day to prove his divine lineage. Helios reluctantly agreed, but Phaeton, unable to control the fiery horses, rose too high, scorching the sky, then too low, setting the earth ablaze. To prevent the destruction of the world, Zeus struck him with a thunderbolt, causing him to fall into the Eridanus River.
