Venus, the Roman goddess of love, originally an Old World vegetation goddess, protector of gardens and vineyards, was later identified with the Greek Aphrodite. The woman here sits undressed and has taken the arrow from Amour, a little angel, Cupid or Eros.
The angel with the wings is trying to take his weapon. The girl sits with legs, belly, torso and breasts exposed in this portrait.
