The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, where Zeuxis, a renowned painter from ancient Heraclee, diligently works on capturing the essence of Helene. The scene is filled with artistic intensity as Zeuxis delicately applies brushstrokes to bring forth Helene's beauty. The naked woman sits gracefully, embodying both vulnerability and strength.
