1. Description from the museum: “A young woman stands looking out from a balcony on this Roman fresco fragment. She wears a loose-fitting, sleeved tunic, cinched at the waist, along with a sakkos (cap), which matches the tunic’s light green color. She sips from a shallow cup held in her right hand, and balances an oinochoe (pitcher) on the railing of a balcony. The figure stands within an illusionistic architectural setting. Broad bands of black and red frame the scene at the left, and additional bands of color can be seen below the balcony.”
