The scene depicts an assembly of Olympian deities gathered on clouds. Mercury stands on the left holding his caduceus, while Jupiter sits on the right atop an eagle, listening to the arguments of the other gods. To the far left, Venus appears with Cupid, and other figures such as Neptune with his trident and Diana with her crescent moon are visible in the crowd.

This scene illustrates a pivotal moment in the myth of Cupid and Psyche from Apuleius's 'The Golden Ass,' which served as a central Neoplatonic allegory for the human soul's (Psyche) journey through trials to achieve divine immortality through Love (Cupid).
