Mixed media on canvas. The large scene, painted in a single range of red-pink, shows two large figures on the right, while the entire left side is occupied by a desert landscape, with the waves of the dunes fading into the distance. The two figures represent a seated knight, with a turban and Saracen dress, refreshed by a girl in Western clothes, who is offering him a tray full of food, while on the underlying support surface there is a basin of water, ears of wheat and various fruits. It could be one of the many representations of the story of Angelica and Medoro, told by Ariosto in Orlando Furioso, which tells of the love between the Christian girl and the Saracen foot soldier who was wounded in a clash, who then fled together to Cathay, thus unleashing the madness of Orlando. The work is presented in a frame.
