The painting depicts two mythological figures in a forest setting. A woman with horns, resembling a forest nymph or goddess, bends over a reclining man who has the appearance of a hero or hunter. The man is unconscious or asleep, clad only in fur, while the natural scene around them, including trees and a lake, is rendered with rich detail and the warm colors of autumn.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). English painter known for his paintings of female figures from classical mythology. Among his most famous paintings is Ophelia shortly before her death braiding flowers in her hair (although the painting is from 1888, it was lost for a long time until found again). Waterhouse had planned to paint a whole series of paintings with the motif of Ophelia, but serious illness - cancer - did not allow him to finish his work. His canvas motif, The Temptation of Miranda, is also worth mentioning. A classical motif is also his Narcis, viewing his reflection in the water.
