Venus and Amor

Johann Peter Pichler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated with three cherubic children. The woman has curly hair and a serene expression. She is dressed in draped clothing, with one arm around the cherubs and the other hand near her lips. The cherubs have curly hair as well, with one on her lap, one holding an arrow, and one peeking over her shoulder. The background features outlines of foliage and trees.
