This print shows two figures in a wooded landscape. One person is sitting, shirtless, with one arm resting on their knee and the other reaching out. The other is kneeling, looking up with their hands clasped. A tree looms behind them, and a distant view of buildings or ships appears in the background. The title at the bottom, *Jupiter and Antiope*, hints this is a mythological scene. The artist used shading to create depth, making the figures stand out against the darker background. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting technique works.
