Carmen Íñiguez Berbeira

Elegant oil painting on copper, of modest dimensions (20x30 cm), depicting a refined amorous allegory in rococo style. At the center of the scene, a semi-naked female figure, a Venus, sits on a sumptuous red drapery next to a small winged cupids — clearly personifying Cupid — who tenderly approaches the goddess's breast. The architectural background, with columns and drapery, the softness of the forms, the sensuality of the poses, and the brightness of the colors complete the painting.

The painting, created with a skilled hand and fluid brushwork, shows particular attention to the rendering of flesh and the delicacy of gestures, highlighting the intimate and playful dialogue between the two protagonists. beside the woman's figure, a wheel can be seen, possibly alluding to Venus's chariot, while at her feet there are iconographic attributes such as a quiver and arrows, a clear reference to the myth of love.
