Description | The scene is set against a rich green landscape. In the distance on the lower slopes of a central mountain range nestles a town. At the left of the panel a female figure enveloped in purple and yellow draperies and carried on a grey cloud is seen descending. At the centre of the composition she is shown standing and being greeted by three other female figures. The lower figure reaches out towards her in a gesture that seems both hesitant and eager, while the standing figure at the rear restrains the figure at the far right as she reaches forward. In the distance at the far right what appears to be the same group of three women with correspondingly coloured draperies are seen dancing as they approach a temple or shrine against which a sculpture can just be distinguished. |
