Pan and Syrinx

Jean François de Troy

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with five nude or partially nude figures and a swan in a body of water. A muscular man with a beard is on the left, reaching into tall grass. A woman in a white cloth is center, with her arms outstretched. Three other figures are to her right, one of whom is reclining. A large tree trunk and foliage are behind them. The background features more trees, hills, and a blue sky with clouds. The figures are in a natural setting with rocks and water. The scene is from a mythological story.
