War and peace is a 1600 oil by Hendrik Goltzius, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows two women sitting together. The woman on the left is naked and holds a branch with leaves. The woman on the right wears a red dress and has her arm around the other woman. In the background, there's a landscape with mountains and a building. The two women seem to be close, and the woman on the right is protecting the other one. The branch with leaves might symbolize something, but it's not clear what. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
