One of a pair of Roman fresco panels that were originally part of the same wall (see also 72.AG.82). Both frescoes depict scenes of Cupids and Psyche (Cupid’s beloved) engaging in everyday activities–a popular humorous subject in Roman art, especially wall painting. In this panel, a group of Cupids tend a perfume shop.
At the right, a Cupid holds an alabastron (flask), while a seated Psyche holds up her arm to smell the fragrance. This fresco fragment was part of a larger scheme of painted decoration for a wall in a wealthy home. The painting style, categorized by scholars as Fourth Style, is the last style of Roman wall painting, and combines the spatial vistas of the Second Style with the fantastic architecture of the Third Style. It was popular from approximately 63 BCE until 79 CE, when Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed. The houses excavated at those sites show that a panel like this one would have been a minor element of the wall's decoration, subsidiary to a large panel with a mythological or architectural motif.
Roman, Vesuvian area, 50-79 CE.

Peonies are the most feminine flower!
peonies breathe tenderness and light,
peonies are like the wind between the lines,
warmed by the spring sun and warmth…
a bouquet of love is beautiful
, a wonderful message of spiritual feelings...
there are no more delicate flowers in the whole universe,
a peony preserves the fragrance of love…
Spring always comes forever!
so may peonies always bloom in the soul,
like the tenderness of feelings, like eternal spring
and the femininity of beautiful nature....I sincerely and wholeheartedly wish everyone happiness — boundless and bright as a diamond, shining with delightful facets of love!...(My garden)...

I'm ready to argue with the whole world.
I'll swear on my head.
That all flowers have eyes,
and they look at you and me. For those who don't believe, I invite everyone to the garden.
Look, barely blinking.,
They look at people trustingly.
All the flowers look like babies in a cradle.
The flowers of the earth look into our soul,
The kind gaze of everyone who is with us. Don't pick the flowers, don't!
Their delicate fragrance
Filled the air of the garden,
They decorate the garden so sweetly!

Dear women! I sincerely congratulate you on the upcoming spring holiday! I wish you good mood, good health, feminine happiness and lots of energy to achieve everything you want! May your loved ones be healthy and happy, and your wildest desires will certainly come true. A woman, like spring, excites, excites, deprives sleep and inspires heroic deeds. Without women, life would be empty. To all of us, the most beautiful and sweet!
