Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
A well-dressed lady and a gentleman in armor appear on the left of the painting.  They, especially the lady, are attended by a young woman and some children.  The light colours of the lady's dress, a combination of red, green and yellow, enclose her shapely form; beside this mass of strong light the figure of the gentleman in his polished metal breastplate and spaulder stands out dark; turning to the lady, but gazing out of the picture, he lays his hand on her breast.With them are associated some allegorical figures—a child who represents the God of Love carrying his bow and arrows; a woman with a wreath round her hair, who lays a hand on her breast with a deprecating gesture; and farther to the back, seen strongly foreshortened, the head of a youth, who is holding up a basket laden with flowers. While brightness pervades the foreground, calls out broad lights on the crystal ball and the spaulder, this last figure remains in a rich half-shadow, the head broadly set against a deep blue sky.
