You see a woman personifying Painting, with a color palette in her hand and a laurel wreath on her head. She's surrounded by symbols of her art. The woman's gentle gesture and the cupid's calm demeanor make this painting interesting, as it shows a peaceful scene. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Reni, Guido.
