Orpheus and Eurydice by Peter Paul Rubens. The painting depicts a mythological scene with four main figures. On the left, a man (Orpheus) is walking forward. He holds a lyre in one hand and clutches the hand of a woman (Eurydice). The man wears a red cloth draped over his waist. The woman, positioned beside him, is mostly unclothed with a white cloth flowing around her lower body. Her expression is solemn, and she looks behind her. On the right, another man (Hades), muscular and bearded, sits while holding a staff. Beside him, a woman (Persephone ) draped in dark clothing appears to be watching the couple. In the foreground, a three-headed dog, Cerberus, seems to guard them. The background reveals stone columns and a fiery glow.
