Venus, Mars, and Cupid

William P. Babcock

National Gallery of Art

Three figures are shown, with two of them seated or reclining, partially covered by draped fabric. The first figure is a woman in profile, holding an object in one hand. The second figure is a man seen from the back with short, textured hair, and a child is seated next to him with curly hair. The figures have muscular features and wear minimal clothing. The background includes foliage, distant cliffs, birds in flight, and a columned structure.
