Cover for a Box

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a round, gold-framed painting titled "Cover for a Box" by an unknown artist. The frame has a decorative edge with a raised pattern. The painting depicts three nude figures, two adults and one child. The adult female figure on the left lies on her side on the ground with one arm behind her head and a green leaf covering her genitals. The adult male figure on the right bends over her, holding a pink cloth and looking down at her. The child figure stands behind them, holding an object in their right hand. The background of the painting shows trees and a sunset or sunrise sky with shades of orange, pink, and green. The frame casts a shadow on a gray surface, and the background of the image is dark gray to black.
