專家說明

The present micromosaic depicts the Doves of Pliny, or the Capitoline Doves. The popular motif is designed after a second-century BC floor mosaic discovered at Hardians Villa in 1737, now in the Capitoline museum. Pliny the Elder attributed to mosaic to Greek artist Sosus. Several examples of this subject matter are illustrated in Jeanette Hanisee Gabriel, Micromosaics Private Collections, 2016, figs. 2, 10, 35, 75, 97 122 and 138.
