Description
Content (description)
On left two nude nymphs ride on the backs of a young and an old sea-centaur. A putto flies to right between the two groups, his arms outstretched. The old sea-centaur also leads a horse to right. Next, two tritons move right blowing shell-horns. On right a nymph reclines on the coils of an old sea-centaur, whose drapery billows over his head and who brandishes his trident threateningly to right. On the top border far right is a grotesque voluted mask.
