Venus and Cupid 

"Venus and Cupid" is a drawing by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). The drawing is a preliminary sketch for a larger work, likely a sculpture or a medal. The image depicts the Roman goddess Venus seated, with Cupid, the god of love, approaching her with outstretched arms. The scene is enclosed in a circular frame, typical of medal designs. The delicate lines of the drawing reveal Thorvaldsen's mastery of form and composition, characteristics of his Neoclassical style. This work can be found in the Städel Museum.
