Description
Content (description)
In centre an almost-nude youth is seated to left on throne. Facing him stands a soldier in armour and a conical cap (Odysseus?) and addresses the youth with a pointing gesture. A nude youth wearing a helmet stands further left, and far left a small draped female stands on a rock mound. On right a soldier in armour stands behind the throne and a half-draped man addresses the youth, gesturing to right. A draped man stands in the background far right. Perhaps Achilles and Briseis?
