The image depicts a procession or gathering of classical figures in a forested landscape. Central to the composition is a nude male figure raising his arms in a gesture of exultation or proclamation, surrounded by gracefully robed women and children in flowing classical garments. The scene is set among tall, stylized trees, giving the image a dreamlike quality. Figures play instruments, walk in harmony, or observe quietly, creating a serene, ritualistic atmosphere. The engraving celebrates beauty, harmony, and classical ideals, all central to Leighton’s work. The overall composition is both balanced and rhythmic, with carefully arranged figures that guide the viewer’s eye across the scene. The fine detailing and linear emphasis suggest that this is likely based on a preparatory drawing or mural design rather than a finished oil painting.
