少女飄揚的長發，翻飛的衣袂，優美的姿態，使畫面極富動勢。少女衣褶除陰影的處理似乎受到印象派的影響。

Lamia 雷米爾

傳說中雷米爾是女妖，她化作漂亮女子誘惑男子然后吃掉。
本圖根據John Keat的詩Lamia寫成
She was a gordian shape of dazzling hue,
Vermilion-spotted, golden, green, and blue;
Striped like a zebra, freckled like a pard,
Eyed like a peacock, and all crimson barr'd;
And full of silver moons, that, as she breathed,
Dissolv'd, or brighter shone, or interwreathed
Their lustres with the gloomier tapestries--
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries,
She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf,
Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.

Psyche Opening the Door into Cupid's Garden 普緒克進入丘比特的花園

普緒克是人類靈魂的象征。
羅馬神話中，普緒克是一位美貌的公主，人們崇拜她勝過崇拜維納斯。維納斯命令他的兒子丘比特讓普緒克愛上世界上最丑陋的生物。但丘比特愛上了普緒克，把維納斯的命令拋在腦后。
丘比特和普緒克成為戀人，但丘比特禁止普緒克看他，后來普緒克還是看到了丘比特，丘比特逃走了。

Psyche Opening the Golden Box 普緒克打開黃金盒

本圖的故事是接著上圖的故事發生的，丘比特跑掉后，普緒克四處尋找他，維納斯布下重重難關，考驗普緒克是否配得上她的兒子。其中一項就是不許她打開金盒子，普緒克忍不住打開了金盒子，從此她陷入長眠。
最后，朱庇特寬恕了這對情侶，然后就是俗氣的王子和公主“live along happily”
