About this work

The Trojans find the Greek Sinon blindfolded and up to his hips in the water in a stream. He was left by the Greeks to persuade the Trojans to bring in the Trojan Horse. In the background the Trojans pull the horse into the city. Later he must also free the Greeks who are in the horse and thus conquer the city.
