Paris' dom is a 1716 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of people in a forest setting. The figures are mostly nude, with flowing hair and soft, rounded shapes. One woman holds a child, another stands with a cloak, and a man leans on a staff. The background has trees and a rocky path, while a small child sits near a basket on the ground. The scene looks like a story from mythology or history. The way light and shadow separate the figures makes them stand out against the dark background.
