About this work

The female personification of France is accompanied by Venus. She has turned away from Mars, who is sitting mournfully in the background. Above them flies Amor. In the foreground, putti symbolizing the consequences of licentious love: Envy, Greed, Treachery, Unfaithfulness, and Death. With a blank margin.
