Paris Writing Words of Love to Oenone

Georg Pencz

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in an outdoor setting. One figure is a man carving something into a tree bark, while the other figure, a woman, is seated next to him. The man is nude except for a cloth draped over part of his body, and the woman is looking at him with her head turned slightly. They are surrounded by trees and foliage, with a small animal visible nearby.
