Two women who look like sisters sit on a carved marble fountain: one richly dressed as a bride, the other nude but for a red cloak, holding up a smoking vessel. A winged boy stirs the water between them. Probably painted for Niccolò Aurelio's wedding, it has carried its title only since 1693, and its meaning is still debated.
Look closer
Aurelio's coat of arms is carved on the front of the fountain. Two rabbits, emblems of fertility, sit in the landscape behind the clothed woman.
