This painting depicts a scene with three figures. In the foreground, a man in a red tunic lies on his back, while a woman in blue sits beside him, touching his head. A man in green stands over them, holding a pair of scissors near the man's hair. The background is dark, with a faint image of people in the distance. The woman's expression is contemplative, and the man in green appears focused on his task. The overall mood of the painting is somber. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Lorenzo Lippi.
