- Description
- Cupid, at left, raises his right hand, in which he holds an arrow, and graps the fin of the dolphin he is riding with his left hand. Thetis sits with her head torqued around to the front while holding the fin of the lion-headed fish she rides. The heads of two putti, one with pursed lips as if blowing, are depicted above.
