罗马男孩帕皮里乌斯在陪同父亲参加元老院会议时，被父亲发誓要保密。当他的母亲问他讨论了什么时，帕皮里乌斯撒谎说他们辩论了一个男人有两个妻子还是一个女人有两个丈夫更好。帕皮里乌斯的母亲召集罗马的女议员们向元老院请愿，要求妇女可以有两个丈夫。她们的呼吁得到了愤怒的回应。帕皮里乌斯挺身而出，解释了这一混乱局面。元老院被这个男孩的聪明才智所打动，授予他Praetextatus的姓氏，以小男孩穿的praetexta长袍命名。
贝卡福米以连续的叙述方式表现了这个故事的两段情节。在最左边，帕皮里乌斯穿着短的紫色praetexta长袍，拒绝背叛参议员。在右边，罗马的女议员们涌向元老院，而在大厅的中央，帕皮里乌斯再次解释了这个误解。这幅画可能曾经是锡耶纳一个宫殿的寝宫系列的一部分。
原文
The Roman boy Papirius was sworn to secrecy by his father when he accompanied him to the Senate. When his mother asked him what had been discussed, Papirius lied and claimed they had debated whether it was better for a man to have two wives or a woman two husbands. Papirius’s mother rallied the matrons of Rome to petition the Senate that women might have two husbands. Their appeal was met by outrage. Papirius came forward to explain the confusion. Impressed by the boy’s wit, the Senate honoured him with the surname Praetextatus, after the toga praetexta worn by young boys.
Beccafumi represents the two episodes of the tale in a continuous narrative. On the far left, Papirius, wearing a short purple toga praetexta refuses to betray the senators. To the right, the matrons of Rome flock to the Senate, while at the centre of the hall Papirius is shown again explaining the misunderstanding. The panel probably once formed part of a series for the bedchamber of a palace in Siena.
