A plain, flat-topped frame encloses a round-headed niche hung with two swags of laurel; in the niche the deceased reclines on a high-backed couch with matress and baluster legs, holding a cup in her left hand. In front is a small table, with three cabriole legs, and a boy, standing left, holding a jug and a cantharus, or two-handled wine cup. |
