The painting Hylas and the Nymphs is based on Greek mythology and tells the story of King Hylas' son, who was sent by Hercules to find water while they were on an expedition. The nymphs of a nearby fountain were enchanted by Hylas' beauty and pulled him into their watery abode, never to be seen again.

The painting features lush greenery, a serene fountain, and beautiful women with flowing hair and delicate features. The colors are soft and inviting, drawing the viewer into the scene.
