Tall and slim figures emerge in different parts of the canvas. The most prominent of them is dressed in a white gown and faces forward with one of her hands open and welcoming, like protecting or presenting the other figures around. A somewhat built environment of town buildings is hardly visible in the background. Prominent colors are grey and dark, with some smudges of yellow and orange.

Oil on canvas

This work is a two-dimensional composition showing an anthropomorphic form at the center, depicting the titan Mnemosyne, the mother of the nine Muses according to Greek mythology. A row of nine female forms appears in the mid-left side of the composition depicting the nine Muses (as observed in the region of Pieria). One of them is carrying a baby (Orpheus, who is the son of the muse Calliope). Another set of nine figures appear in the lower register depicting observers of the myth and its rites, or a second rendering of the muses.
