National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in an outdoor setting. To the left, a figure with the characteristics of a satyr is standing playing a pipe. The figure has pointed ears, curly hair, and is unclothed. To the right, a seated woman holds a slender branch. She has long hair, styled with a head covering, and finely detailed facial features with a calm expression. She wears flowing garments. The background features a rustic landscape with trees, one small mythical creature, and an animal next to a dish. The name "Benedeto Montagna" is inscribed above the woman.
