This plate depicts the myth of the rivergod Alpheus who fell in love with a young nymph Arethusa who had been bathing in his waters. He chased Arethusa but she was saved by the goddess Diana, who shrouded her in a cloud and then turned her into a stream. For a plate with a very similar scene, see Johanna Lessmann, Italienische Majolika, Katalog der Sammlung, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Brunswick, Brunswick, 1979, p. 284, no. 352.
