Description
Content (description)
Diana and Actaeon (?): a female figure is seated to the right leaning against a tree: her shoulders and arms are bare and she wears a stephane. Her left arm is raised to her head, her right hand points down to a basket of flowers in front of her from which springs a winged serpent. A female attendant stands to her left. Behind are a tree and a column with a two-handled urn upon it. In the centre, in the background, is a base with an amphora upon it: on the left a shepherd with a long pedum in his right hand and his left arm outstretched advances towards Diana. [Cleopatra? A. G see Ashby p. 28 and p. 6 Professor Gow?]
