Jupiter and Antiope

Willem Panneels after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures and a large bird. The central figure is a seated woman with long, curly hair, wearing a cloth and an armlet. Behind her, a bearded man leans towards her with a hand raised. A large bird, possibly a swan, is present, with wings spread. Foliage is visible at the bottom right corner, and the background has a textured appearance with lines suggesting movement or a sky.
