Cupid’s presence clearly shows that the female figure represents the goddess of love, Venus.

Cupid points his arrow at the two pigeons. These birds appear traditionally, along with the two characters, Venus and Cupid.

The warrior on the right of the picture is Mars, the god of war and the lover of Venus.
