The scene has Venus in her chariot being drawn by a pair of doves with Jupiter, his hand on his heart, looking smitten by one of the women in the foreground., the other gestures with her outstretched arm his presence. To add to the occasion a group of women can be seen playing various musical instruments, perhaps in celebration to this affair.
