    Large oil on canvas from the Louis XIV period, depicting Odysseus' discovery of Astyanax hidden in his father Hector's tomb.

    This dramatic scene represents the discovery of young Astyanax, Hector's son, hidden in his father's tomb after the fall of Troy. The Greek hero Odysseus is shown pointing to the child, while soldiers prepare to drag him from his hiding place. The composition is marked by strong dramatic tension: expressive gestures, gazes turned towards the child, and contrasts between movement and stillness. The women, in particular, embody pain and supplication in the face of imminent violence.

    Note: Oil on its original canvas and wear to the paint layer consistent with the painting's age.

    The frame dates from the 19th century.
