Three women in red and rose robes stand around a fruit tree with golden apples, a blue serpent coiled around its trunk, in a lush green garden.

Garden Hesperides

Three barefoot women in flowing red and rose drapery encircle a tree heavy with golden fruit, while a blue serpent coils around its trunk. Lush grass and flowers fill the foreground, and a dark, leafy landscape opens behind the figures in a painted composition.

Español: El jardín de las Hespérides

Tres mujeres descalzas, vestidas con telas rojas y rosadas que fluyen, rodean un árbol cargado de frutos dorados, mientras una serpiente azul se enrosca en su tronco. En primer plano crecen hierba y flores, y detrás de las figuras se abre un paisaje oscuro y frondoso.
