Europa and her handmaidens entertain Jupiter in the guise of a bull. Europa is already seated on her back and gazing skyward. Above her head, two putti fly with a laurel wreath and a pear. In the background, one of Europa's maidens is riding the bull decorated with garlands of flowers. The print is part of a series of 53 prints after paintings by Titian and Veronese.
