Pale nude woman flying diagonally through dark blue sky, arm raised, past shadowy draped figures emerging from mist, one holding a staff.

Psyche, Unperturbed, Passing the Fates

A pale nude woman soars diagonally across a deep blue night sky, one arm lifted high and her drapery streaming behind her. Behind and above her, shadowy draped figures, one holding a staff, emerge from swirling mist in this painted scene.

Español: Psique, impertérrita, pasando junto a las Parcas

Una mujer desnuda de piel pálida vuela en diagonal por un cielo azul profundo, con un brazo levantado y los ropajes ondeando detrás de ella. Detrás y arriba, figuras sombrías y drapeadas, una sosteniendo un bastón, surgen de una niebla arremolinada en la escena pintada.

Português: Psique, impassível, passando pelas Parcas

Uma mulher nua, de pele pálida, voa na diagonal por um céu noturno azul profundo, com um braço erguido e as vestes ondulando atrás dela. Atrás e acima, figuras sombrias e drapeadas, uma segurando um cajado, surgem de uma névoa turbilhonante na cena pintada.
