This coloured reconstruction of the Queen’s Megaron was drawn by Émile Gilliéron fils, probably shortly before it was published in the third volume of The Palace of Minos in 1930. It uses the Miniature Frescoes as the model for the women. None of the vessels depicted was found in the Queen’s Megaron.
