The overflow from this tank flows through a bronze mask with a lion's head. In the background, beyond the wall: two trees and the roof of a building; at the rear of the latter: the roof of a bell tower. In the foreground of the image: an old woman accompanied by a child and an elegant woman. Mode of acquisition: purchase
