About this work

This painting shows a man carrying another person on his back while a woman holds a child and looks on. The scene looks like it’s happening outside a building with steps. The colors are warm—reds, yellows, and browns—with dark shadows in the background. The man carrying the other person is bent forward, showing effort. The woman’s dress is red and blue, and she’s holding a small pot. The boy on the steps watches quietly. If this scene interests you, look up Aeneas for more about the story behind it.
