Pintura mural con una mujer sentada tocando una cítara

ca. 50–40 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 164
Este fresco forma parte de una serie de paneles de gran tamaño que decoraban la sala de recepción de la villa de Publio Fannio Sinistor en Boscoreale, cerca de Pompeya. La villa, al igual que Pompeya, fue sepultada por la erupción del Vesubio en el año 79 d. C. Los paneles se inspiran en pinturas creadas para una de las cortes reales macedónicas del periodo helenístico temprano (finales del siglo IV–principios del siglo III a. C.), y tal vez celebran un enlace dinástico. La mujer que toca la cítara debió ser un personaje importante, ya que lleva una diadema y está sentada en una silla ornamentada parecida a un trono.
