Fresco with Old Satyr and Hermaphrodite

Fresco showing the theme of the Satyr attempting to join carnally with Hermaphrodite. The pictorial effect is entirely created by the contrast between the dark body of the Satyr and the light body of Hermaphrodite. One can see a female figure, possibly a Maenad, carrying a tambourine, staff and a silver chalice, symbols of Dionysus.
