Description
A depiction of Phryne a famous hetaera (courtesan) of Ancient Greece, being disrobed before the Areopagus. Phryne is said to have been disrobed by Hypereides, who was defending her, when it appeared the verdict would be unfavourable. The sight of her nude body apparently so moved the judges that they acquitted her.
