There is more than one painting depicting this subject. One is by Guido Reni, c. 1626-31. In this oil painting Helen is lead off by Paris, three of her ladies are behind her as she exits the city (her home town) of Sparta. In the foreground stands a 'Putto' or cupid figure and a small dog, a symbol for home and fertility. Behind Paris are two soldiers and perhaps his Paige pointing to the awaiting ship, as another Putto flys off into the sky.
