The design comprises a double pergola supported by caryatids in the form of satyrs, and figures with flutes and tambourines, leading to an exquisite formal Renaissance garden. The pergola, with caryatid columns, is based on an earlier Flemish design for the famous series of
Metamorphoses of Vertumnus and Pomona, made for the Habsburgs in 1546, today in museum collections in Madrid and Vienna.
