Description
editThis allegorical group portrait is of betrothal or marriage scene with Cupid, the god of love, pointing an arrow at the chest of the young woman in the center.[1]
It shows four figures symbolising married love. The seated woman holds a parrot on her left hand and a floral crown (symbolic of marriage) in her right hand. A small Cupid touches the woman on the breast with his arrow while she rests her head on the breast of the man behind her. To the right a young woman runs another floral crown down her arm. Both women wear pearl bracelets.
