Venus, Adonis and Cupid

XVI century. Pencil, Grey-brown ink, Pencil ground on paper.
Not on display

Venus´s reclining body, with her left hand raised in order to pull Adonis´s head close to hers, echoes the goddess´s pose in a painting of Venus and Adonis in a private collection, Genoa. The positions of both Cupid and Adonis are, however, different.

This and nos. D01716, D01722, D01890 and D01899 from the Album were connected by the Suidas with a painting of Venus Restraining Adonis from the Hunt in the Palazzo Bianco, Genoa.
