Fresco Fragment with Winged Eros

A fragment from a frieze depicting Eros as a winged child pulling on one end of a swag or garland. He is depicted naked apart from a cloak that hangs from his shoulders and behind his body, visible flapping loosely on either side of his legs. The fluttering ends of a cloak belonging to a second figure, presumably another Eros or possibly a Psyche, can be seen on the right. Painted on an ochre background with remains of two bands below of sky blue and terracotta. The edge of a lower register visible.
