The painting depicts a scene with two figures, a woman and a man, standing in front of a body of water and a cityscape. The woman, dressed in a red tunic, holds a spear in her right hand and points to the man with her left. The man, nude except for a blue cloth draped over his left thigh, stands with his weight on his right leg and points back at the woman. In the background, a city is visible on the right side of the painting, with mountains rising up behind it. The sky above is blue with clouds. This painting could be compared to other works by artist Benvenuto Tisi.
