Description
Signed on the left, on the rock: „P. v. Dyk. F“; Venus, adorned only with a golden bracelet, sits outdoors on a blue and orange coloured cloth; her head and neck are shaded by a red cloth, which hangs down from a small marble construction under green branches; Cupid lies on the ground and hands an arrow to the goddess; in the background on the right, one can see two nymphs, and farther away, a mountain landscape; the whole picture is executed in smooth and luminous porcelain colours with silver-grey shading.
