Detailed Description
An oval-shaped image shows a wooded landscape. In the center, a partially nude woman reclines on a white cloth, her back mostly to the viewer, with her head turned to the right. Her light skin contrasts with the dark green foliage behind her. To her right, a partially nude man, covered by a leopard skin, leans on his elbow, looking towards the woman. He has dark hair and a muscular build. A spear rests against his left arm, and a quiver is visible near his feet. Several putti are scattered around the central figures. One putto sits on the ground in the lower left, looking towards the viewer, holding a small wreath. Above him, two putti are near a bush of pink roses; one reaches for a rose, while another, partially obscured, holds a flaming torch. Another putto is visible in the upper left, partially hidden by trees. The background on the left features dark green trees and foliage, while the right side opens to a light blue sky with white clouds. In the lower right, a red and gold object, possibly a quiver, lies on the ground next to a dark green velvet cushion and two white doves. The overall color palette includes pinks, blues, greens, and warm skin tones.
