Allegorical caricature: Two couples approach a Cupid-like statue of a man with wings that has come alive; he wears a wig and carries a bow and a torch (extinguishing as he holds in downwards); he stands on a plinth hung with bags of money, an open chest with coins at its base and to the side sits a cat. On the tree behind (right) a sign reading "Coeur a vendreau, a louer au plus offrant &c dernier encherisseur" hangs from a heart pinned to the trunk on which a snake is curled hissing at the animated statue. The two couples are mismatched in age, in the center a handsome young officer stands with a withered old woman and on the left, a young woman with a fat, old man who holds a bag of coins. On the far left a turkey follows the procession
