About this work

Hercules and Omphale, a 1531 work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, shows a seated bare-chested man in a brown drape wearing a white headcloth while a woman in an orange gown and black bodice fastens or adjusts it and another woman in a red velvet dress holds a spinning distaff. Dead game birds hang against the dark background, and a Latin inscription appears across the top.
