Oil painting of a sleeping nude youth reclined on orange cloth, touched by a woman in blue drapery, with two cupids and a dog beside them.

Diana and Endymion

A reclining nude youth lies on draped orange cloth while a woman in blue drapery leans in to touch his chest, and two cupids and a dog share the foreground. The dark, cloudy landscape behind them and loose painterly brushwork suggest a 17th-century mythological scene.
