Painting of a pale draped woman raising her arm on the left, beside a young man reclining in the arms of a seated woman in red against a dark wooded background.

Virtue Calling Youth Back from the Arms of Sin

A pale, draped female figure in white rises on the left, arm raised toward a reclining young man in a dark green coat and a seated woman in a red-orange skirt. The dim, wooded background and warm, low lighting focus attention on the tender, half-embracing group.
