The story of Venus and Adonis is told in the ancient poet Ovid's Metamorphoses. Here the goddess Venus tries in vain to convince her mortal lover Adonis to refrain from participating in the dangerous hunt, but in the background we see Adonis killed during the hunt.
Venus lies almost naked in the portrait with her belly, torso and breasts exposed. Adonis has a cloth around his waist and is otherwise topless.
All in all a sexy and sensual erotic picture with romance.
