Image description

The Lydian Queen Omphale holding a leaf-fan, looks down at Hercules with a bemused expression; her tunic slips off of her left shoulder in the manner of Venus. She is flanked by two young girls. Hercules wearing a woman's dress and a wreath on his head, reclines drunkenly below with one arm raised in the air. Cupids play with his club, while others sport with his quiver.
