To the left stands Juno who is angered by the choice, and to the right, turned away, Minerva, identifiable by the armour at her feet. Venus is accompanied by Cupid and crowned by a putto; another putto holds two doves tied up. Paris is accompanied by Mercury at the left, and in the background two satyrs watch the contest. At the right a water god and a nymph recline on the ground.
This work was probably painted shortly before Rubens\'s departure for Italy in 1600.
Two drawings (Paris, Louvre; New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art) and an oil sketch (Vienna, Akademie der bildenden Künste) illustrate the evolution of the composition, which is based in part on Raphael\'s Judgement of Paris, as engraved by Marcantonio Raimondi. The putti in the sky recall the work of Rubens\'s master Otto van Veen (1556-1629). (See also Rubens NG 194.)
