The artist, as usual, paints us an abandoned corner of the garden, in which an exquisite society gathered for “gallant pastime.”
Soon, society is likely to be divided in pairs by the tangled paths of this Garden of Love. In the clearing there will be only unfortunate “third superfluous” and a statue of Venus with Cupid. Venus already and now takes away from his son a quiver with arrows, unambiguously hinting to the viewer that there is no one else to “arrows of love”.
Spicy detail – one of the pairs is removed from society, slyly and triumphantly looked at the remaining.
