Image description

Whole artwork view. Alcestis and Admetus listening the oracle of Apollo, that is read by a young man sitting on a table in the middle of the scene; the king, half-bare, places his foot on a platform where a sword leans against, while his bride, completely veiled, sits thoughtful beside him; in the foreground, on the left, a grieving couple, maybe Admetus' parents; on the right Apollo, with bow, quiver and crown of light, and a female figure who stares at the god; from Casa del Poeta Tragico.
