About this work

Landscape with Venus and Adonis. The Goddess Lies in Adonis' Arms and Looks at Him Lovingly; She Does Not Want Her Beloved to Go Hunting. However, Young Adonis Already Has His Hunting Horn Under His Arm, and His Arrow Lies at Their Feet. On the Left, Amor Plays with Adonis' Hunting Dogs.
