Painting of women in red and blue robes bending over a reflecting pool in a rocky landscape, one standing figure in pale blue watching.

The Mirror of Venus

A group of women in flowing red and blue draperies kneel and lean over a shallow pool in a rocky, open landscape, their reflections visible in the still water. A standing figure in pale blue gown looks on from the left, while distant hills and bare trees recede under a soft golden sky.
