This anonymous etching, titled "Venus en Cupido", showcases the Roman goddess Venus, reclining with Cupid. Dated 1574, the print depicts Venus resting under a draped canopy while Cupid sits beside her with an arrow and bow. The artist's focus on detail and the use of hatching to create shading are characteristic of Northern European Renaissance art. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
