Default please help identify painting

My Mother inherited a painting from my Grandmother when she died last year. We would like to find out a little bit about it.

It depicts 4 Greek or Roman youths 'lounging' in some sort of white stone outdoor court yard by the sea, listening to another youth who is sitting on a throne or chair that has carved from stone. There is a harp leaning against one of the short walls amongst the youths.

One youth in the foreground is lying on the floor wearing black fur, another is sitting behind him leaning against the wall next to the harp. A young girl is lying sideways next to him on a step or bench with red flowers by her feet. The other is only half in the picture and is standing to the left.

You can see pillars in the background to the right, by the sea.

I would be happy to send a snapshot if that will help. Any help you can give would be very appreciated.

Sunny
