Español: Venus curando a Eneas

Una diosa desnuda que sostiene un pequeño recipiente está de pie entre nubes junto a un cupido alado, mientras un hombre barbado y mayor con corona de laurel sostiene a un joven desnudo herido recostado sobre una tela roja. Un casco y un escudo yacen en primer plano bajo un paisaje montañoso oscuro.

Português: Vênus curando Eneias

Uma deusa nua segurando um pequeno frasco está de pé entre nuvens ao lado de um cupido alado, enquanto um homem barbado e mais velho, com coroa de louros, ampara um jovem nu ferido deitado sobre um tecido vermelho. Um capacete e um escudo jazem em primeiro plano sob uma paisagem montanhosa escura.
