Notes il quadretto è variamente interpretato ed identificato: come Ercole schiavo di Omphale (proveniente da Portici) oppure Polifemo e Galatea (con provenienza generica da Pompeii). Richiama Ercole la pelle ferina su cui egli siede, mentre rimanda a Polifemo il suo bastone da pastore ed il quadretto verde in alto, con scena dell'accecamento di Polifemo da parte di Ulisse.
