- Description:

".... And the tender Héro reflects on her love for Claudio. Ursula feels her happiness. The young girls embrace each other while stripping roses and their voices unite, in the mysterious silence of the evening, in a sweet cantilena that seems to indefinitely prolong the intoxicating ecstasy of the two young hearts" (Ad Jullien, p. 256). The Shakespearean landscape is illuminated by the moon. There is a pilaster on the right and reflections of the shimmering sky in the water. There is a cascading fountain in the background.
