The intimate moment between them is set against a backdrop of trees, mountains, and a river, creating an intricate composition. The rich and vibrant colors used by Tintoretto draw the viewer's attention and add to the overall visual impact.

His style is evident in this painting, where he masterfully captures the emotional intensity of the scene.
