Lyre Player, Etruscan, 5th C. BCE, fresco, Tomb of Triclinio, Taquinia

This wall painting depicts a man (usually depicted in red) as he plays a musical instrument. The Etruscans worked in a wide array of media and many of their architectural, painting, and sculpting processes were adopted by the Romans. Although the Etruscans were part of Roman culture, it appears that they were not a direct continuation of Etruscan culture.
