Description
Content (description)
Mosaic of harbour with ship, two smaller boats and dolphin. Arcaded building behind with equestrian statues on right and trees behind.
The mosaic still existed in the sacristy when Ashby wrote the Eton Catalogue. The Eton drawing represents the fisherman in the left-hand boat as hauling up a net: his dress is blue. In the lowest boat the seated figure is in blue, the standing figure in red: the latter is not hauling up a net
