PLATINUM Seller in Milano, Italy
Drawing on paper made with ink, white lead and gouache; depicting the frescoed vault of the Gallery of the Eagles of the Domus Aurea. The perimeter strip is occupied by reserves inhabited by eagles and peacocks; in the innermost one there are grotesque decorations. In the central reserve, Ariadne is represented sleeping, abandoned by Theseus in Naxos, while in the lower and upper ones there are procession scenes and a votive offering, probably in Pomona.
