Aphrodite is in Greek mythology the goddess of love, beauty, sexuality and fertility.
She bestows on mortals the captivating allure of love, but she also inspires the devouring passion of love. She herself has preceded with her example. She has felt the passion of love; she has made more than one person happy by giving him her love. She is married to Hephaistos, the crippled god of fire. When Hephaistos noticed his wife's adultery with Ares, he made an artful net. While both lovers felt safe from any disturbance, they were suddenly captured by Hephaistos in that net and revealed to the mocking glances and words of the other gods.
The woman here is topless in the portrait. Because of this, the girl's hip and belly are portrayed naked. Also torso, shoulders and breasts are exposed on the work of art.
All in all a sexy and sensual erotic picture with romance.
