The image is an engraving entitled "L'Embarquement pour Cythère" ("The Embarkation for Cythera") by Jean-Antoine Watteau. The scene is set in an idyllic, lush countryside with abundant trees and foliage, characterized by a blend of romance and classicism. In the foreground, several pairs of elegantly dressed figures are depicted in playful or affectionate poses, suggesting that they are couples.

Various putti are scattered throughout the scene, some flying or perching in the trees. In the middle of the composition, a path leads to the background where more people are preparing to embark onto a waiting boat adorned with flags and garlands.

This area includes couples in various states of embrace and conversation, women accompanied by cherubs or putti, some holding objects that appear to be symbolic, such as arrows and bows, possibly indicative of love and desire. Transitioning toward the center and right of the image, the setting opens up to a clearing where a large group of individuals is gathering around a boat with a sail. The boat seems to be adorned with garlands, suggesting a festive or ceremonial purpose. There's a prominent figure standing in the boat, almost as a guide or leader for the voyage. Surrounding the boat, more figures are engaging with one another, some actively moving toward the boat as if preparing to embark. The expressions and gestures of the people in this section suggest anticipation or celebration. In the background, the landscape features a calm sea with ships in the distance, and the sky includes clouds that contribute to the overall serenity of the scene. The right side of the image continues the theme of revelry and merriment, with more figures, including some who are suspended in the air amongst the clouds, contributing to the dreamlike, ethereal quality of the tableau. The foreground at the bottom of the image contains text which appears to be in French, indicating that the scene represents embarkation for the island of Cythera. The terms "L'EMBARQUEMENT POUR CYTHERE" and "AD CYTHERA CONSENSIO" suggest a thematic connection to love and the mythological context of Cythera, an island associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Overall, the style and subject matter of the artwork are reminiscent of Baroque or Rococo artistic traditions, with an emphasis on the mythological, allegorical, and romantic themes often found in European art during the 17th and 18th centuries.
