About this work

In this painting, a man with horns and a goat-like lower body stands in a forest, reaching out to a woman who is running away from him. She is naked and has long blonde hair. The man is also naked, with his body facing the woman and his head turned to look at her. The background is a forest with trees and bushes. The woman appears to be trying to escape from the man, who seems to be chasing her. The scene is set in a natural environment, with the forest providing a sense of depth and atmosphere. This painting is a great example of the work of Jean-François de Troy.
