The goddess Venus standing on a sphere crowns the head of those fallen at her feet once they had been hit by Cupid's arrows; following the path to Vanity (Cursus Vanitatis),  Blindness (Caecitas) is driving a cart of fools, pulled by Folly (Stultitia) & Lust (Voluptas), and pursued by Derision (Derisio).
