Hygieia, goddess of health, is at left, wearing a headdress. A snake, her attribute, curls around her body and drinks from a bowl (the bowl of Hygieia, a symbol of pharmacy). She faces a female figure who holds a staff in her right hand. A late eighteenth-century or early nineteenth-century study in a classical style. The two figures in this panel are almost identical to those in NT 128698, although there is the addition of an altar between the two figures in the second panel, suggesting that these are both working models and that the artist was experimenting with composition.
