Fresco with scene of tragedy

On the left is a male figure, recognisable by the red beardless mask with a tall onkòs, he is the messenger. On the right is the figure of a woman of mature age carrying an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes on her arms. Perhaps the scene refers to an episode in a drama, with Heracles and the infant Telephos as protagonists.
