Painting of a helmeted woman in armor and blue drapery beside a nude young man, with a hooded figure and a castle on a hill in the background.

The Call of Perseus, Burne-Jones

A painted scene of a helmeted, armored woman standing center in blue-grey drapery, holding a sword, while a nude young man on the right lifts a hand to his head. At left, a hooded, shrouded figure stands behind a crouching nude figure by water, and a castle sits on a distant hill beneath a golden, hazy sky.
