This painting shows a woman with her arm raised, holding a bow. She's nude, except for a cloth draped over her legs. Beside her is a small, winged child, also nude, holding a quiver of arrows. On the right, a bearded man with leaves on his chest and head looks at them. The woman's pose and the child's wings suggest they're mythological figures. The man might be a god or a satyr. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more artworks like this one.
