The Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite by Frans Francken: A classical scene depicting a muscular, bearded man with a trident sitting on a rock in the center, wearing a blue cloth draped over his left shoulder and around his waist. He is surrounded by several nude women and men. One woman in a pink skirt and long hair sits to his left. A nude woman with a blue cloth stands to his right. Several people are holding spears. A white horse and a brown horse are on the right. Fish and other sea creatures are in the water. In the background, several flying sea creatures and birds are flying, and another group of people are on a cliff to the right. The sky is cloudy and gray. A brown frame surrounds the image.
