Detailed Description
Two nude figures, a man and a woman, embrace in a lush landscape. The man, with dark curly hair and a beard, sits on the left, his left arm around the woman's back, his hand resting on her hip. The woman, with lighter hair, stands slightly to the right, her left arm around the man's shoulder, her hands clasped over her groin. Both figures gaze towards each other. A large tree trunk rises behind them on the left, its branches extending upwards and bearing small, round, orange fruits. A snake with a patterned body is coiled around the tree trunk, its head visible near the man's shoulder. To the right of the figures, dense green foliage fills the midground, with a bright blue sky and white clouds visible in the upper right. In the lower left foreground, a spotted, leopard-like animal lies on the dark ground, looking upwards. Above it, a smaller, dark-furred animal with pointed ears also looks towards the central figures. The ground is a mix of dark browns and greens.
