One panel from a series of Brussels tapestries, 'The Planets', depicting Venus with one foot in a pool, a rose in her hand and regarding herself in mirror, with a maid washing her foot. Both are seated in front of a trellis of foliage. Beyond, a lakeside landscape with figures, perhaps including Neptune, and sea creatures. On the left a bearded figure, half female, with bird on head, transforms into a tree. Border of fruit, flowers and satyrs. One of four tapestries from the same set in the Royal Collection. Another weaving from the same cartoons, with similar borders and bearing the same weaver's mark (so far unidentified), is at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, where there are five panels, one a narrower replica of the 'Mars and Venus' panel. The tapestries are believed to be those listed in the 1601 Inventory, in the Pearl Bedchamber.
