Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Cupid and Venus gaze directly into each other's eyes, establishing the central relationship in the image.
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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Kruger's poster is a play on Ren Descartes's words, I think therefore I am.
