![The image depicts a person sitting on an ornate, curved piece of furniture, pouring liquid from a vessel in their left hand into a bowl held by their right hand. The person has soft facial features, long wavy hair, and wears a red cloth draped over their shoulders. The background shows a blend of architectural and natural elements, including arches and green and earthy tones. A textured section in the background resembles a wall or fresco. In one corner, the word "TEMP[T]ER ANTIA" is inscribed.](https://api.nga.gov/iiif/74f39c23-b060-473a-8817-60d9c97dbc61/full/!800,800/0/default.jpg)
