About this work
Venus and Amor ride in a chariot in the sky, drawn by two birds. The signs of Libra and Taurus indicate which people belong to the sphere of influence of Venus. The people, who are born under this zodiac sign, indulge in a pleasant life and erotica. In a landscape people are hunting, bathing, making music, walking in pairs or eating around a set table. At the bottom of the margin a text in Latin about the children of Venus.
