A tempera with watercolor on board painting attributed to Maria Morgan-Snell (Brazilian, 1920-2007) depicting a mythological scene with a centaur and a nude maiden wearing a laurel crown, along with a second female figure bowing on her knees while appearing to blow a floral form wind instrument.
The group of figures, along with a second grouping of centaurs and maidens in the background and a dove and deer are depicted in a fantastical landscape with vibrant glow of sun with swaths of color indicating water and other earth elements.
The painting is apparently unsigned. Displayed in a wood frame.
