Burne-Jones's painting shows the legendary court of Venusberg (city of love). The knight seen in the centre of the window is riding off to seek forgiveness for having given himself up to a life of pleasure in the city. The Queen's women are playing music (known as the food of love). A rose, also a symbol of love, lies on the ground by the Queen. The tapestry in the background depicts Cupid riding on the chariot of Venus, goddess of love.
