This bronze plaquette by Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio, depicts the mythological scene of Venus, Cupid, and Vulcan. The work is a high relief sculpture with detailed figures and a textured background, creating a sense of depth. Venus is seen approaching Vulcan, while Cupid playfully sits at their feet. This small-scale work showcases Riccio's skill in bronze casting and his talent for depicting classical subjects with realistic detail. The plaquette would have likely been displayed as a decorative object in a private collection during the Renaissance.
