2. The sight line between the woman seen in profile in the upper left corner and the man rotated toward her from the upper right corner (and reinforced along the line of his extended arm) links Truth to (Father) Time.
3. Folly's direct sight line to Cupid links the Baby as a younger version of Eros.
