Mars and Venus Surprised

Workshop of Hendrick Goltzius, after Hendrick Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mythological scene. The drawing shows a god-like figure emitting light. The scene includes a couple on a bed, surrounded by other figures. The style resembles Renaissance engravings with detailed line work and expressive characters. The scene may depict a classical mythology story with symbolic elements like a winged figure and rays of light.
