Allegory of the birth of the Infante Ferdinand, son of Philip II, represented as a child surrounded by seven women, the theological and cardinal virtues in front of a bed on which there is a lady, alluding to his mother Anne of Austria, in a compositional scheme based on a religious birth. The scene is framed by a large curtain of seven putti subject, and on which rests the fame, playing the trumpet and holding a sign with the legend Celebris veneris partus mundi, "takes place in the world the birth of Venus". On the sides, on clouds and accompanied by an eagle, displayed Lucina, the Roman goddess of childbirth, and Mars, the Roman god of war.
