The Judgement of Paris (cartoon for the south panel of the ceiling, dining room, Dorchester House) is a 1860 oil by Alfred Stevens, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of five figures in a landscape. On the left, three women stand together, their bodies covered in flowing red and white drapery. One woman is holding a bow and arrow. On the right, two men sit on a rock, one of them wearing a helmet and a red cape. The background is dark blue. The figures seem to be interacting with each other, but their expressions are hard to read. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of red, blue, and brown dominating the palette.
