Description
Content (description)
On left stands nude Dionysus, wearing wreath and boots, leaning on the shoulder of a smaller satyr, who supports him with an arm round his back. They look at one another. On right Hercules stands at the foot of the tree of the Hesperides, holding the fruit from it in his left hand, his club and lionskin in his right. On far right appears the dragon, moving right and twisting its head to look at Hercules.
