Venus and Amor riding in a chariot in the sky, pulled by two birds. The signs of Libra and Taurus indicate which people belong to Venus' sphere of influence. The people, born under this constellation, indulge in a pleasurable life and eroticism. In a landscape they make love, bathe, play music, walk in pairs or eat around a set table. Below in the margin a text in Latin about the children of Venus, The planet Venus and her children The seven planets (series title), print maker: Harmen Jansz Muller, (mentioned on object), Maarten van Heemskerck, (mentioned on object), publisher: Hieronymus Cock
