Possagno, Italy

Procris is lying on the ground breathing her last. The upper part of the body is raised to showing a wound on her breast. Cephalus is above her crying and covers his face with his left hand. The dog assists the dismal scene and guards the lyre near his front paws. The bow and the arrow are on the ground near the white veil soaked in blood.
