This painting is an allegory that shows the portraits of the Spanish singer Raquel Meller and her husband, the Guatemalan writer Enrique Gómez Carrillo. Of the couple, the man is sitting on the edge of a piece of furniture with a leaf in his hand bearing the painter's name. Next to him lies his wife, sexy naked with lace over her leg. Furthermore, her legs, hips and some pubic hair are exposed, as well as her belly, torso and breasts. The girl looks seductively at you with a small smile.
Here she depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and symbol of femininity.
Behind the couple is a garden or park with a fountain and ark or arch. In the background the skyline of a town with a church and a fort or castle on a mountain.
All in all a sensual picture with romance and eroticism.
Julio Romero de Torres (Córdoba, Spain, November 9, 1874 - there, May 10, 1930) was a Spanish painter. Initially he worked in a style influenced by Impressionism, but he made his name mainly with his later realistic-symbolistic works.
