Summary

A naked woman chained to a rock beside the sea. She is facing the viewer with her hands fastened above her head and her head turned to the right. A man is standing to the left; he is reaching up toward her bonds. A group of figures can be seen at the lower right corner. More figures can be seen in the sea to the right midground and on a rocky outcrop to the upper right edge. There is a shield on the ground to the lower left and snake like coils at the lower left edge.
