Whole artwork view. Europa sits on the back of the bull, that is, the god Zeus under false pretences; the princess is half-bare, covered only with a mantle on her legs and with her left hand she grabs the horn of the animal; one of her mates goes near to the animal in order to caress its muzzle, while other two girls attend the scene, nearby; on the background, a high pillar and a rocky landscape; from Casa di Giasone.
