These are six garden sculptures by the Flemish sculptor Peter Anton Verschaffelt (1710-1793), who also created the sculpture group with Diana on the south façade.

The figures are grouped in pairs: To the east, Bacchus, the god of wine, and Pomona, the goddess of fruit growing.
In the central axis, Pan, the forest god, and Flora, the goddess of flowers.
To the west, Meleager and Atalanta, a couple from Greek mythology who together slew the feared Calydonian boar.
