Pâris et Œnone

The painting shows Paris in a red robe leaning toward Oenone, who is seated in white drapery, as Paris extends his arm to point at something on a gnarled tree, with a classical ruin and a distant landscape in the background. The color palette contrasts the vivid red of Paris’s garment with Oenone’s pale white dress, while light softly models their faces and folds in the fabrics against a dark tree and warm earth tones. The composition uses a diagonal gesture and an intimate, narrative interaction, rendered in a polished Flemish Baroque style with careful naturalism and refined brushwork.
