Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man tied to a tree, pierced by arrows, a winged figure with a crown, in a landscape

Detailed Description

A male figure is tied to a tree trunk in a landscape, rendered in black and white tones. The central figure, a young, muscular man, stands on a large, cut tree stump. He is mostly nude, with a draped cloth covering his hips and upper thighs. His body is pierced by several arrows, with shafts visible protruding from his chest, abdomen, and left arm. His head is tilted upwards and to the right, with his eyes looking towards the sky. His hair is curly. Above and to the left of the man, a winged figure floats on a cloud. This figure wears a draped garment and holds a crown or wreath in its hands, extending it towards the man. The background features a light sky with scattered clouds in the upper portion. Below, a vast landscape unfolds with rolling hills, scattered trees, and what appears to be a winding river or body of water. Small structures are visible in the distant landscape. To the right of the main tree stump, a smaller, freshly cut tree stump is visible on the ground.
