This painting shows Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, looking into a mirror held by her son Cupid (in Roman mythology, the god of love, who was represented as a naked child. Cupid means desire or desire, and was actually the god of love and beauty. He also has another Latin name, Amor. Cupid is the son of the goddess Venus or Aphrodite and the god Mars). Venus's pose in this painting resembles classical sculptures such as the Venus in Florence or the Venus in Rome, which Titian may have seen during his lifetime, as he himself had previously said of the source of his paintings, "I learned from the wonderful ancient stones." The painting is noted for its beautiful detail and skillful display of textures, from the softness of Venus's skin to her luxurious velvet and fur-lined dress.
