In this image, a couple embraces in
a garden. The man’s dress indicates that he
is a German mercenary, who were chastised
for loose morals in many prints of the period.
The twiglike laurel wreath on his head is a
mocking emblem of victory in love and war.
His partner meets his gaze and guides his
hands, wearing long hair, an open bodice,
and a hitched-up skirt suggesting sexual
availability. Resonating with Edenic and love
garden images, the subject likely operated on
the edge of decency for its audience.
