About this work
A muscular young man in a black-and-white spotted costume reclines against a rocky outcrop, one arm raised to hold a long wooden pipe. A garland circles his neck and a horned headpiece crowns his head. A basket of lemons and a small tray of fruit and a goblet flank him, while a lake, hills, and sailboats open up behind.
Cool blue-black patterning on the costume contrasts with warm ochre skin tones and the soft greens and blues of the landscape beyond, rendered in smooth, tightly blended academic brushwork. Careful shadow models the torso and face, while the flowered blue drape in the foreground carries thicker, textured paint. The mood is languid and theatrical, evoking a staged mythological tableau.
