About the piece
Created in 1828 by James Ward, this oil on panel work depicts Venus in a moment of quiet drama as she rises from her couch. The composition is defined by the bold sweep of a crimson curtain and the graceful curves of two swans, showcasing the artist's Romantic-era mastery of light, texture, and mythological narrative.
