    "description": "This statue depicts Venus as she is sitting on stone, with a crown of flowers on her head and her clothing loosely draped across her waist.  She is gazing at the face of Cupid with her left hand around his side, and the other hand holding a cup.  Cupid is leaping from a lower stone into the lap of Venus, with his arms reaching around her.  At their feet we can see Cupid's arrows along side a pitcher and a garland of flowers.",
