This lively composition shows three figures in a tight close-up: a woman holding a branch, a putto playing a trumpet and a satyr. Biliverti explored a similar ensemble in his painting Venus, Cupid and Pan (sold at Sotheby's, London, 2 July 2012, lot 29), but the woman in the present drawing should be identified as an allegory of Fame, rather than Venus, as described by Cesare Ripa.
