Description
Content (description)
Drawing of an ancient wall elevation with a painted wall punctuated by four Doric half columns attached to piers dividing the space into three sections. The central section is occupied by a female herm flanked by two peacocks, whilst the left panel depicts a satyr with a little Eros and a goat. The right panel has a drunken Silenus supported by a satyr and accompanied by a panther - giving a bacchic character to the whole composition.
