This painting shows a crowd around a man in a red cloak. He hands a woman a small chest. The chest holds gold and a ring. It was made in Florence around 1455. The artist’s workshop made many story panels like this. Details like armor and fabric show careful work. This scene comes from Roman history. Look for more tempera panels at the Art Institute of Chicago.
