Español: El destino cumplido: Perseo y Andrómeda

Una mujer desnuda está encadenada sobre una saliente rocosa a la izquierda, de espaldas, mientras un guerrero con casco y armadura oscura sujeta una espada sobre un cuerpo enroscado de serpiente marina en escalones de piedra. La pintura al óleo combina tonos apagados de verde azulado y negro con la piel cálida y la roca ocre.
