專家說明
A shell-crowned and reed-enriched cartouche, celebrating Love's triumph and the Element of Water, encloses the rectangular frame, which displays jewelled tablets of trompe l'oeil marble and foliate shells bound by gadrooned reeds in the spandrels. Native figures perch on the trussed, wave-scrolled and ribbon-banded pilasters of the cartouche, which is incised with lozenged trellis, evoking Rome's Temple of Venus, and supported by chimerical hippocamps, celebrating the triumph of the water-deity Neptune.
