About this work

The painting depicts a scene with three men surrounding a naked woman, who is sitting on a stone ledge. The men are dressed in robes and appear to be reaching out to her. The woman is covering her breasts with her hands and looking away from the men. In the background, there is a stone structure with arches and columns, and a small fountain with a statue of a child. The atmosphere of the painting is tense and dramatic, with the men's actions and the woman's reaction creating a sense of unease. This painting is part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum.
