Let's see if you spot what's wrong in this painting. As you see, it represents Paris and Helen, with the statue of Laocoon in the background. But if the statue existed, it means the facts it represented had already taken place. That is, Laocoon was killed my the marine snakes when he advised the Trojans against introducing the Trojan horse. This episode happened at the end of the war, when Paris was already dead, and Helen was married to Deiphobos.

In other Helen of Troy pictures, she is represented on the ramparts of the city of Troy, maybe longing for the life she had left behind, maybe finally realizing the sorrow her whim had brought upon the others.
