Venus, Bacchus and Ceres (Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus). Venus embraces Bacchus and Ceres that sit on her on a sun bed. Bacchus, with vines on the head, holds a drinking bowl. Ceres carries ears of corn in the hair, next to her a cornucopia. Amor is in the foreground with a bunch of grapes. The curtains of the canopy are opened by two putti, to the right of this two putti carry fruit. Illustration of the saying "Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus" (without Ceres and Bacchus freezes Venus), or without food and wine freezes love.
