 KINALDO vas, H. 2 ft. 7 in. x 3 ft. 7 in. Armida, armed with a dagger, is bending cautiously over Kinaldo, who, clad in splendid armour, lies sleeping at the foot of a tree ; overcome by love, as she contemplates his beautiful face, she withholds the blow, her arm being restrained by a cupid who has alighted be- side her.
