Visual Summary

Brief Description

A young man with a sword faces a curtain, a crowned woman reaching out behind him

Detailed Description

Two figures are depicted in a dimly lit interior scene. On the left, a young man stands in profile, facing left, with his body angled slightly towards the viewer. He wears a dark, long-sleeved tunic with puffed shoulders, dark tights, and a white ruffled collar. His light-colored hair is short, and his gaze is directed downwards and to the left. He holds a slender sword in his right hand, pointing it towards a large, reddish-brown curtain that occupies the left third of the canvas. The curtain has vertical folds and appears to be made of heavy fabric. Behind the young man, slightly to his right, stands a woman. She wears a golden crown, a light-colored dress, and a flowing red cloak that drapes over her shoulders and down her back. Her light-colored hair is partially covered by a white scarf or veil under her crown. Her hands are extended forward, palms open, directed towards the young man. Her face is turned towards him, with her mouth slightly open. The background behind the figures is a dark, indistinct brown, appearing as a deep shadow or a plain wall. The floor is a darker brown. The overall palette is dominated by dark browns, reds, and blacks, with lighter accents on the figures' skin and clothing details. The signature "Eug. Delacroix." is visible in the bottom left corner.
