The kidnapping of Dejanire by the centaur Nessus.
The subject is inspired by book No. IX of Ovid's Metamorphoses, at the moment when to cross a river, Hercules entrusts Deianira to the centaur Nessus who, seduced by the beauty of the young woman, takes the opportunity to kidnap her.
The scene is taken from life and represents the kidnapping, with the rearing centaur tearing Deianira from the ground.
He literally carries Dejanire's body under his right arm.
Very surprised and unbalanced, she waves her arms in the air and looks at the ground in terror while half of her body hangs in the air.
