About the piece
Created around 1810 by British artist Thomas Stothard, this oil sketch presents the mythological encounter of Venus and Adonis with soft, expressive brushwork. The warm, earth-toned palette and the inclusion of cherubic figures reflect the romantic and classical sensibilities of the Regency period, making it a sophisticated addition to traditional interiors.
