"Venus Looking Glass" is an artwork by Edward Burne-Jones, created in 1905. This piece depicts the Roman goddess Venus seated by a body of water, gazing at a full moon. The figure of Venus is depicted in a seated posture, with her hair flowing down her back and her gaze directed towards the orb in the sky. The scene is rendered in a circular composition and characterized by a muted palette and a soft, dreamlike atmosphere, typical of Burne-Jones's Pre-Raphaelite style. The image suggests themes of beauty, contemplation, and the allure of the feminine.
