On far left Venus and Adonis embrace, a dog on the ground and a putto by their side. Next to them stand four huntsmen, the one in the foreground in an attitude of grief, a dog at his feet gazing up at him. On right is part of the scene: Adonis, nude and holding a spear, sinks to the ground, while an old man and a youth in the background gesture in shocked surprise.
