Above Demosthenes is 'Justice': a picture of Catherine II, raising a dagger to stab to the heart the Sultan, who lies on his back, his sabre and a bag of '16000000 Roubles' beside him. On the right is 'Moderation': the Empress in back view stands facing a wall-map of 'Moldavia Bessarabia Wallachia' over which she stretches her stout arms with widespread greedy fingers.
