Description
Flämischer Maler des 17. Jahrhunderts
DAPHNIS AND CHLOE Oil on wood, partly parquetted. 122 x 90 cm. In gilded frame. In the center is Daphnis, depicted with a bare back, playing a flute and wearing a tied scarf around his head. He is embraced by Chloe, standing next to him in an elegant dress with carefully coiffed and adorned hair, who gazes at him lovingly. Surprised, he turns to her. In the foreground on the left, a large ram's head with its dark eyes looks out of the picture, probably a reference to the fact that they sacrificed a ram to Dionysus. Painting in which the back view is particularly emphasized. (1400751) (3) (18)
