The Death of Procris

About this work

This painting shows a woman lying on the ground, possibly dead. She is wearing a white top and a blue skirt. A man in a brown robe is kneeling beside her, looking down. There is a dog standing next to them. The scene is set in a forest with trees and bushes. The woman's body is relaxed, and her eyes are closed. The man's face is sad, and he seems to be mourning her death. The dog is looking at the woman, as if it is also sad. This painting might be related to the artist Benjamin West.
