Adriaen van der Werff's "Venus and Cupid" (1674-1722) is a small yet detailed oil painting on canvas. The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, standing beside her son, Cupid. The classical figures are presented in a naturalistic way, showcasing van der Werff's mastery of form and light, which evokes the artistic ideals of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
