Brief Description

A man supports a woman with red marks on her chest in a dark forest

Detailed Description

The painting depicts two figures in a dimly lit, wooded landscape. In the foreground, a woman lies partially reclined, supported by a man. The woman, positioned on the left, wears a blue bodice with white puffed sleeves and a red skirt or drapery. Her head is tilted back, eyes open and gazing upwards, and her mouth is slightly agape. Red marks, resembling blood, are visible on her chest and upper torso. Her left arm is bent, with her hand resting near her chest, while her right arm extends towards the lower left. Her bare feet are visible on the dark ground. The man, positioned behind and to the right of the woman, kneels or stoops, supporting her with his left arm around her back. He wears a dark, long-sleeved tunic. His head is bowed, looking down at the woman. His right arm is raised and bent at the elbow, with his palm open and fingers spread. His dark, shoulder-length hair frames his face. The background consists of a dense, dark forest with tall trees. A faint, lighter area in the upper right corner suggests a distant sky or light source, illuminating a distant hillside. The foreground is dark, with hints of green and brown foliage on the ground. A small, dark object, possibly a dagger or arrow, lies on the ground near the woman's right foot. The figures are highlighted against the dark surroundings.
