Detail of a Roman Wall Painting Fragment with a Woman and a Leopard in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Wall Painting Fragment with a Woman and a Leopard
Roman, AD 50-75
Plaster and pigment
Fresco
Inventory # 72.AG.80
A reclining woman leans forward to offer a leopard a drink from a silver kantharos (ritual cup). Both leopards and kantharoi were associated with Bacchus (god of wine), thus the woman is probably a maenad, one of his female followers. The artist skillfully rendered spatial depth through the play of light and shadow.
