In a rocky clearing, putti undress Cupid and Psyche as they prepare to bathe in a shallow, marble-rimmed pool. This tapestry is from a set of eight, traditionally called Les Sujets de la Fable. The designs for all eight tapestries are based in part upon drawings then in Louis XIV's collection- now preserved in the Louvre- which were all, at that time, attributed to Giulio Romano. Four of the tapestries in this series- all of which are part of The Met’s collection- ultimately take as their inspiration frescos by Giulio Romano and his assistants in the Palazzo Te, Mantua. The design source of this tapestry is Giulio’s fresco of Mars bathing with Venus painted in the Palazzo’s sala di Psiche.
