The Toilet of Venus ('The Rokeby Venus')

Venus reclines on a bed before the mirror held up by a winged Cupid. The reflection shows her face, suggesting that she is observing the viewer rather than herself. The female nude is very rare in Spanish painting at this date. During the 19th century the painting was at Rokeby Park, hence its subtitle.
