Painted Plaster Pavement Fragment

Artist: Unknown
Artwork: Painted Plaster Pavement Fragment
Description: This fresco fragment shows a section of a larger composition. A duck stands in a thicket of vegetation, its head turned to the right. The vegetation is depicted in a naturalistic style, with each leaf and stem carefully rendered. The duck is painted in a more stylized manner, with its body and wings shown in profile. The colors are still vibrant, despite the fact that the fresco is over 2,000 years old.
