About this work
A muscular, red-hued triton with a curling beard and small horns sits astride his own scaled, fin-tipped tail, one arm raised with a trident, the other wrapped around a pale nude woman reclining against him with her legs stretched over his tail. Rocky islets rise from a deep blue sea under a glowing yellow sunset, with a spouting whale, two dolphins, and a small fish-tailed creature near the shore below.
The palette contrasts warm terracotta and ochre flesh tones with cool ultramarine waves and a luminous saffron horizon, rendered in the dense parallel hatching of painted maiolica; the tight, engraving-derived linework and symmetrical rocky framing give the embrace a hushed, decorative calm despite the fantastical anatomy of the figures.
