Photograph of a spandrel that is part of the fresco by Raphael and his workshop in the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche in the Villa Farnesina. It depicts Psyche presenting a covered vessel to a crowned Venus, with the latter raising her hands upward as if rejecting the offering. The scene is framed with elaborate festoons of various plants painted by Giovanni da Udine.
