/// In this scene of The Lover’s Advance,
Titus clearly is after romance.
Vesta blocks his pursuit
by upending some fruit.
Her two sisters look on (one askance).
/// Lusty Titus is only aware
of the girl, not the fruit on the stair.
As toward her he reaches
he finds only peaches,
but he really was seeking her pear.
/// Hands grip Vesta’s left arm and her waist.
She must calm him or end up disgraced.
With a smile and a wink
she gives Titus a drink.
She’s still chased, but, for now, she’s still chaste.

This has nothing to do with the figures in the painting, but I note that the inventor of the ceiling fan used blades that were way too short and fat.
