Venus et Adonis

Gérard Vidal after Charles Monnet

National Gallery of Art

Two nude figures are depicted reclining on a bed. The person on the left has long, flowing hair while the person on the right has short, curly hair. Both figures have classical facial features. The setting includes rich fabric drapes surrounding the figures, with two small cherubic figures in the upper right corner and a pair of birds below the reclining figures. The scene is framed with ornate border lines.
