About this work
Landscape with the dead Pyramus by a fountain. He has stabbed himself because he thought that Thisbe had been killed by a lion. Thisbe discovers her dying lover, whereupon she commits suicide with Pyramus's sword. On the left in the background, the lion sits under a stone arch. Below the image, an explanatory text. The first line from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book 4, verse 61.
