About this work

A painted mythological scene shows a draped female figure in a red cloak and dark bodice, flanked by a muscular bearded man reaching toward her and a shadowy figure behind him. Several putti surround the group, one holding a bow, another pointing toward a helmet on the ground, while a stormy sky and distant landscape open on the right.
