Detailed Description
This oil painting depicts a scene with five adult figures and one child, mostly nude, set in a landscape under a cloudy sky. On the far left, a man with a winged helmet stands, holding a staff. Below him, another man sits on a rock, draped in a reddish-pink cloth, holding a staff and extending his right hand towards the center. Behind him, a small group of goats is visible. In the immediate foreground, a small, light-colored dog sleeps curled up on the ground. In the center, three nude women stand. The woman on the left has a small child clinging to her right leg, and a green drape partially covers her. She looks towards the seated man. Next to her, a woman wearing a golden crown and a blue drape stands, gesturing with her right hand towards the left. A peacock is visible at her feet. On the far right, a third woman stands with her back mostly to the viewer, holding a tall staff and a large, round golden shield. A blue drape is wrapped around her. The background features dark green trees on the left, transitioning to a lighter, open sky with soft clouds on the right. The ground is a mix of dark rocks and earthy tones.
