Pintura mural com uma mulher tocando cítara

ca. 50–40 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 164
Este afresco faz parte de uma série de painéis de tamanho grande que decoravam a sala de recepção da vila de Públio Fannio Sinistor em Boscoreale, perto de Pompeia. A vila, como Pompeia, foi sepultada com a erupção do Vesúvio em 79 d.C. Os painéis são inspirados nas pinturas criadas para uma das cortes reais macedônicas do início do período helenístico (final do século IV e início do século III a.C.), e talvez celebrem um casamento dinástico. A mulher que toca a cítara (  lira) deve ser uma pessoa importante, já que usa um diadema e está sentada em uma cadeira ornamentada como um trono.
