Painting in a gilded arched frame: nude women grieve on dark sea rocks beneath a pale crag, with a winged figure and a man on the summit above.

Desolation of the Oceanids at the foot of the rock where Prometheus is chained

A painted arch in a gilded frame shows nude female figures sprawled and kneeling on dark, churning sea rocks, their arms raised in grief. Above, a pale rocky crag rises into a stormy sky, where a winged figure hovers near a reclining male figure on the summit.

Español: Desolación de las Oceánides al pie de la roca de Prometeo

Una pintura de arco con marco dorado muestra figuras femeninas desnudas, tendidas y arrodilladas sobre rocas oscuras en un mar agitado, con los brazos alzados en gesto de duelo. Arriba, un peñasco pálido se eleva hacia un cielo tormentoso, donde una figura alada se cierne junto a un hombre recostado en la cima.

Português: Desolação das Oceânides aos pés da rocha de Prometeu

Uma pintura em arco com moldura dourada mostra figuras femininas nuas, deitadas e ajoelhadas sobre rochas escuras em um mar agitado, com os braços erguidos em lamento. Acima, um penhasco pálido se eleva rumo a um céu tempestuoso, onde uma figura alada paira perto de um homem reclinado no cume.
