A lovely nude sitting atop a pedestal offering a blossoming red rose. The rose is a symbol of love, delicacy and fragrance; yet, it possesses thorns. The opening of the rose is representative of having to open ourselves in order to experience love, thereby becoming vulnerable. The thorns are symbolic of the possibility of being hurt while in the vulnerable state of love. Though the jester's gloves are an attempt to avoid the pain of love, once in love, anyone can be made the fool.
