Love Requests Venus to Return His Weapons to Him

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a nude woman sitting on the ground with her legs extended to the right. She has short, curly hair pulled back by a blue headband. A blue bracelet adorns her right wrist. She looks down at a cherub to her left. The cherub sits on a cloth and has a blue bow on its back. It holds its hands to its face. The woman's right hand rests on her thigh. A bird with wings outstretched sits on the ground behind her. The background features shades of blue and gray, with what appears to be a drapery or fabric folds. The artwork is framed by a thin black line.
