A Sick Child brought into the Temple of Aesculapius

A woman seated on a couch holds a pale, sick-looking child in her lap while a bearded man in a brown robe and a white-robed figure with a bowl stand near a smoking tripod brazier. A kneeling girl, a draped animal skin, a fruit basket and a red vase fill a marble-columned interior with a green wall.

Español: Un niño enfermo llevado al templo de Esculapio

Una mujer sentada en un diván sostiene en el regazo a un niño pálido y enfermo, mientras un hombre barbado con túnica marrón y una figura vestida de blanco con un cuenco permanecen junto a un brasero de trípode que humea. Una niña arrodillada, una piel de animal extendida, una canasta de frutas y un jarrón rojo llenan un interior con columnas de mármol y una pared verde.
