Jupiter and Antiope
A satyr-like youth with pointed ears leans over a reclining nude woman draped in red cloth, her head resting on her arm. Beside them a bearded herm stands on a pale pillar against a deep blue sky and green foliage. The fresco is painted on a round panel with soft, muted tones.
Look closer: The reclining woman's raised arm rests behind her head, a pose easy to miss under the drapery.
