About this work

Atalanta sits with arrow and bow before a house and is surrounded by two women and four men. She looks curiously at the young Myrtillus, who takes off his hat and greets her. An old man looks down from a window of the house. To the right in the foreground a boy points at the group. In the lower margin twice a three-line French and German text.
