Description:
Paride è raffigurato come pastore sul monte Ida, dove fa mandato per sfuggire al volere degli dei.

Prince Paris with the phrygian cap, dressed up as a shepherd in order to escape the gods’ fury, sits on a rock, surrounded by herding animals; next to the hero, a sacred door, beside a pedestal with a statue of Artemis; in the foreground, lying on a rock, the representation of Ida, the mountain range of Anatolia; the space of the scene is given by oblique lines that dominate in the scene.
