Venus and Cupid

Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst after Cornelis van Poelenburch

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two figures, a woman and a child, both depicted from head to toe. The woman is seated, facing left with a slight torso turn, and the child stands leaning towards her. The woman has classical facial features, straight nose, defined lips, and styled hair. She is draped in a cloth. The child has cherubic features, small wings on his back, and holds a small bow, indicating a cupid figure. In the background are billowing clouds.
