Scene representing a concert: on the right, a woman with elegant garments and jewels grips in her left hand a writing table with inscriptions and teaches the musical rythm to the players in front of her with her right hand; in the middle of the scene, a musician with bloated cheecks is playing the flute and scans the music with his left foot; beside him, a young woman crowned with roses plays the lyre plucking the strings with the plectrum; on the background, edifices in perspective and, on the left, two human figures crowned with ivy leaves; from Palestra, Insula Orientalis, Ercolano.
