Diana and Endymion. The figures of Diana and Endymion appear in the centre of the composition. The figures are lit from the bottom left, as if emerging from the darkness of the night that engulfs the surrounding forest. Each figure appears nude, covered only by a piece of drapery. This use of costume, while demonstrating the artist's knowledge of anatomy, has classical overtones which helps set the historic period of this mythological scene.
