This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - the Pentelicus marble relief of Oracle talking to Achilles. Dating back to the 1st century B. C. , this exquisite bas relief was discovered in the House of the Relief of Telephus in Herculaneum, offering us a glimpse into Roman civilization and their deep appreciation for mythology. In this detailed depiction, we witness an intriguing moment between Oracle and Achilles. The two figures are engaged in conversation, with Oracle sitting while Achilles stands attentively. With one hand on her hip and draped in a flowing robe, Oracle exudes wisdom and authority. The sculptor's skill is evident as every intricate detail is meticulously carved into the smooth marble surface. The vertical composition adds grandeur to this archaeological artifact, emphasizing its historical significance. This studio shot allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship without any distractions from modern surroundings or people.

Achilles' barefoot presence suggests his semi-dressed state during their encounter.
