Notes

Greco-Roman mythological scene:
A number of Gods witness the adultery of Mars and Venus, who were caught in the metal net made by the cuckolded Vulcanus.
Gods from top left to right bottom:
Sun god Apollo, flying Neptune ? with reconciling gesture, a smiling Diana with a moon image on her forehead, Saturn with his scythe, Athena (Minerva) with helmet and lance, Jupiter with lightning in hand, Mercury with his red hat and staff opens the green curtain, the crippled Vulcan seen from behind, his left foot on a stone, Cupid with bow and arrow aiming at Mercury (who indeed comes to desire Venus in the story), Mars with hat turning back and protesting Mercury, Venus with her face averted seeming in shame.
Further objects:
decorated table with gilded plate and pitcher with a satyr handle, overturned chamber pot, Vulcan's hammer, Venus' shoes, Mars' spear, sword, body armour and shield, striped matrass
