Painting of two nude figures embracing beside a flowering tree in a green meadow, with drapery trailing at their sides.

Phyllis and Demophoon, Edward Burne-Jones, 1870

Two nude figures embrace beside a blossoming tree in a green meadow: a woman with long auburn hair clasps a young man whose drapery trails from his hip. Painted in a smooth, luminous technique, the tall vertical composition sets pale flesh against dark greenery and scattered white blossoms.
