The Damsel and Orlando by Benjamin West: A painting depicting a medieval scene. A man sits on the right in dark clothing. He holds his hands up defensively. A man on the left wears a red tunic. He gestures with one hand while grasping a large cross with the other. A partially nude woman in a white and gold dress with a blue sash around her waist stands center-left. She holds her right hand up to the face of the man on the right, and her left hand rests on a box. A child is barely visible on the far left. The background shows a cloudy sky with large beams. A horse's head wearing a bridle is on the right edge. A large column separates the people from an opening on the right.
