Penelope is seated at her loom; on the floor at her right is a damsel winding thread on shuttles from a ball of yarn which a cat is playing with.

From the open window is seen the s.h.i.+p of Ulysses, with the hero bound to the mast; sirens are disporting themselves in the sea; the palace of Circe is on an island near, with swine and other animals in its vicinity.
