From the Art Institute of Chicago record

This colorful drawing features the amorous pair of Jupiter and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. According to the Roman version of the Greek myth, the two gods’ courtship gave rise to the birth of the nine muses. De Wit sets the title figures in a pastoral scene replete with an infant shepherd, distant mountains, and loyal hounds.
