Venus Discovering the Dead Adonis
A woman with curly blonde hair and a green and gold dress is kneeling over a dead man. The woman's right hand is raised, and her left hand touches the man's head. The man is on his back with his arms extended, wearing a white cloth around his waist. A dog looks at the man from the right side. In the background, there are cherubs and a cloudy sky. The woman appears to be Venus, and the dead man appears to be Adonis.
