DescriptionThe image depicts three figures stood before a temple/building of some description which is ancient Greek in appearance. Two male youths dominate the scene; they appear to be sparring (as suggested by their posture and bandaged fists/hands). A young female (on the right) appears to be annointing them in some way, as she holds a bowl and a branch with leaves (an olive branch?) which she seems to wave in the direction of the young pugilists.
