A finely dressed man and woman are seated on a terrace beyond which an elaborate garden with sculptures and a fountain is visible. The man reaches out to hold the woman's hand and offers her a flower. A cupid kneels at their feet, holding a small bouquet and gesturing toward a basket full of flowers that rests on the ground beside him
