This painting shows four women and a small winged boy. The women are dressed in flowing robes, standing in a line. Two on the left wear light green and white, while the two in the middle are in warm orange and yellow. One woman on the right wears a dark brown dress and holds a small object. The boy has wings and stands near a ledge, looking down. The women’s faces are soft and slightly blurred, giving them a dreamy look. The background is plain, focusing all attention on the figures. Next, look up Sandro Botticelli to see more of his work.
