Description
"The sleeping couple"; on a table between the dozing couple sits a wine carafe and walnut shells. On the wall behind the man are further indications of alcohol consumption, vine leaves, bunches of grapes and a wine sack, that may have led to the couple's slumber. Behind the pair is a fountain with a urinating putto who grasps a wild boar above his shoulders.
