Allegory of the virginity of Queen Christina of Sweden oil on canvas, 92by127cm. The scene shows Cupid in the center raising a large curtain; on the left there are Jupiter in the form of a swan and Leda while on the right of the god there is Helen with the keys to the city of Troy. The allegory is closed on the right side by Artemis together with Queen Christina of Sweden: the goddess, symbol of her purity, transfers this meaning to her due to her closeness to her queen.
