The Continence of Scipio

Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Continence of Scipio by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini. A large group of people are gathered around a standing woman in a green dress and a red skirt. The woman is standing on steps. A man kneels at her feet, and another man crouches next to him. The people around them wear old-fashioned clothing. There is a columned building behind them. A tree branch hangs down in the upper left corner. In the background is a tower and a blue sky with pinkish clouds. The people in the scene wear robes and togas. A blue and white dress is prominent on a woman on the left.
