Oil on panel.
The painting takes up the composition of Titian's masterpiece (from 1510, currently in the Louvre Museum), but inserting it into a completely different landscape and developing it on the sides, with the introduction of a goat on the right and a faun playing the whistle on the left.
Furthermore, the four figures taken from Titian are developed upside down, probably because the author of our painting was inspired by an engraving.
The central scene shows two young people sitting on a lawn making music side by side, with a young woman from behind while a second is drawing water in a marble basin.
The two women present are both naked, barely covered by cloaks that slip away, while the two men, who talk to each other, are dressed in period costumes.
The subject should be an allegory of poetry and music, with the two women of ideal beauty, who are like two unreal apparitions generated by the imagination and inspiration of the two young people.
The painting proposed here shows traces of previous restorations.
There are currently some color drops and damage to the table.
