Philadelphia Museum of Art Pediment

I took a day off from birding to go to Philadelphia with Shari to see a couple of exhibits at the Barnes Museum and the Museum of Art. While walking up the "Rocky" stairs we noticed the pediment of Greek mythological characters (we usually go in through the back, so hadn't seen it before), all painted realistically as statues were at that time, when Shari noticed one character who didn't belong, also painted realistically.
