In a landscape with trees, in the foreground, there are two figures, a feminine and a masculine one, the latter of which lies dead. Besides him there is a quiver of arrows. Standing still, two dogs watch the scene.This scene portrays the moment when Venus panics after knowing that Adonis, his young and handsome lover, had been killed by a wild boar. In order to pay him homage, she transforms his corpse into a flower that would be named after him, as it is described in Metamorphoses (10.717-739).
