Description

Fidelis in the Arbour, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University

A soldier in armour raises a sword to attack the robed woman in front of him, to left, who is leaning his shield against a bed or couch. Behind, at left, there is a small table with jug and glass, and at right, trees. It is likely this was intended to illustrate a dramatic scene in a novel.
