draws forward with her right hand; her hair falls in long
ringlets, and has a jewelled hand in front of the veil;
white drapery is thrown over her lower limbs; her right
arm is covered with a sleeve; her left arm is nearly bare.
Behind the left elbow appears violet-coloured drapery, and
under the white drapery on her bosom the edge of red
drapery; on the left arm is a bracelet. The figure standing
by her wears a blue tunic, over which falls a yellow upper
fold; a violet-coloured mantle is wound round her waist;
her right arm is covered with a sleeve. Behind Phaedra is
a red mantle ornamented with yellow flowers; ground
grey. From the Fejervary collection, in the catalogue of
which (No. 540) it is said to have been found at Pompeii.
This statement seems questionable.
No. 17 (Cases 30, 31). In the centre of an oblong pic-
ture is a Gorgon's mask modelled in relief from stucco,
from which are suspended two branches with fruit curling
round in a spiral on each side. On each of these spirals is
seated a female figure; the one on the right holds in both
hands a tambourine ; a yellow mantle is thrown round her
lower limbs; her head is wreathed; the figure on the left
holds an oinochoc in her right hand; a red mantle is cast
round her lower limbs, and a yellow veil hangs down from
her head behind; both the drapery and the flesh of this
figure have been repainted; the two branches are united
by a red sash. Below, under the Gorgon's head, is a well,
over which is suspended a beam, balanced on a pole, and
with a bucket attached to one end; a bird is drinking
from the bucket, and another bird from the wrell ; ground
white. Presented in 1757, by Thomas Hollis, Esq., who
states in his MS. catalogue that he took this painting out
of the ruins of Pompeii in 1753.
Nos. 18-22 are from Herculaneum.
No. 18 (Case 26). Ariadne abandoned on the shore of
Naxos; in the distance is the retreating ship of Theseus.
Blacas. Helbig, p. 256, No. 1222.
No. 19 (Cases 28, 29). G-roup of three figures; apparently
a lesson in music. A male figure, Apollo (?), is seated by
the side of a draped female figure, who plays on the lyre
under his direction; another draped female stands by
leaning on a column. The male figure has a white mantle
draws forward with her right hand; her hair falls in long
ringlets, and has a jewelled hand in front of the veil;
white drapery is thrown over her lower limbs; her right
arm is covered with a sleeve; her left arm is nearly bare.
