25 x 18 cm

In the landscape to the left, Venus stands on a rock in front of two tree trunks, wearing only a scarf, pointing to her sleeping son Cupid. His bow and quiver are beside him. In the center of the picture, behind Venus and Cupid, a satyr approaches, holding in raised hands a flat vessel from which smoke rises. Stylistically, the painting is indebted to the Mannerist art of the Prague court
