Hercules and Omphale
![A circular frame encloses the shoulder-length portraits of two figures. At the left is a woman wearing a lion-skin headdress, holding a wooden club, and extending her right arm. The fingers of her hand slightly extend beyond the frame as if to break the sense of pictorial illusion. At the right is a bearded man wearing an ivy crown and embracing the woman with his left arm.](https://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/pompeii-in-color/objects/hercules-omphale-2/@@images/ab36ca5e-ba35-4cb4-97e2-147fc909476c.png)
