Painting of two nude figures embracing beside a flowering tree in a green meadow, with drapery trailing at their sides.

Phyllis and Demophoon

Two nude figures embrace beside a blossoming tree in a green meadow: a woman with long auburn hair clasps a young man whose drapery trails from his hip. Painted in a smooth, luminous technique, the tall vertical composition sets pale flesh against dark greenery and scattered white blossoms.

Dos figuras desnudas se abrazan junto a un árbol en flor en un prado verde: una mujer de cabello castaño rojizo y largo sujeta a un joven cuya tela cuelga de la cadera. Pintada con una técnica suave y luminosa, la composición alta y vertical contrasta la piel pálida con el follaje oscuro y las flores blancas.
