A woman carrying a round, shallow pan approaches a pool of water. A classical figure with long beard and carrying a cornucopia is seated by the pool, pouring more water into it from a large pitcher. On the ground to the right of the pool are Romulus and Remus, nursing from the wolf. Another woman with a pan walks away from the pool toward a building in the background. Also in the background is a small domed temple set in a grove of trees
