Can someone please tell me what I’m looking at. I 100% see a horse belly up. And a lady? Looking back?? The “erotic motif” part was attached to the picture but I want to give the maker the benefit of the doubt and see something else, anything else please
I‘d say that is a cupid/amor ie a little boy fucking a stallion. Totally normal subject in ancient Rome.
