Cupid Stealing Venus's Floral Crown

Antoine Coypel

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a person in a relaxed seated pose with their back slightly inclined and head tilted to the right. The person has closed eyes, a serene expression, and styled hair in an updo. They are draped in cloth, with a smaller figure depicted to the upper right holding a wreath or garland over the main figure's head. The background is a neutral tone.
