Notes | ||
The reliefs are identical. Each relief shows five female dancers dressed all'antica. The relief is a copy of a neo-Attic work, (2) now in the Louvre. The figures only have been copied, the present relief having a plain background whereas the original dancers are set against a Corinthian colonnade. | ||
