Venus and Adonis
Venus and Adonis by Bernard Picart. A sepia-toned drawing depicts a scene with several people and forest foliage; a man and woman are center-stage. The man on the left wears a cloth wrapped around his waist and on his shoulder; he holds a spear with a triangular point in his right hand and grasps the outstretched left arm of the woman on his right. The woman on the right wears a gown gathered on one shoulder; she leans away from the man on her right. A group of putti surround the pair on the bottom-left; one putto lies on the bottom-right. A tree branch dominates the top-right corner.
