The clear colours, light background and strong contrast between the swarthy complexion of the male protagonist and the lilywhite skin of the woman are typical attributes of the 3rd Style, which retains much of the Archaic. The cupid who is witnessing the scene not only plays up the erotic content but also alludes to subject of the picture which stands as a pendant to this one.
