Cupid with bow and arrow writes the name of the princess on an obelisk, which is adorned with a crowned C globe to the tip. The obelisk is in a big square to the front of a Royal Palace (maybe the Palace of Copenhagen) full of walkers and of carriage. In the sky above the Palace the wind gives positive answer to the choice of Cupid. The entire scene is seen from a balustrade in the foreground.
Date below, in exergue.
