Allegory of marriage, placed in a graceful cartouche that is made up of flowers, plants, and architectural fragments. Centrally in the performance, a man and a woman are married and honored by two putti by an angel. Their hands touch each other above a burning sacrificial column. The couple is assisted by allegorical figures and putti with flower garlands. In the distance stands a classical building where putti with a cornucopia and the eternity symbol, the snake that bites its own tail, fly around. On the right, Juno is pulled in the car by peacocks in the air. At the bottom of the cartouche
