"Venus and Cupid" is a drawing by the Italian architect and artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his detailed etchings of ancient Roman architecture. This artwork depicts the Roman goddess Venus and her son Cupid, the god of love, seated on a cloud. The delicate lines and the realistic depiction of the figures are characteristic of Piranesi's style, showcasing his mastery of draftsmanship and his fascination with classical mythology.
