<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 789074, member: 5833"]I don't offhand recognize the scenes as being from some other work, but the lady's undraped bosom suggests she is Venus (as Jivvy put in while I was distracted elsewhere) taking her ease, her son Cupid nearby. Despite their resemblance to dragonflies, the little critters in Lucille's are probably meant to be butterflies, with Cupid chasing after them, an allusion to the story of Cupid & Psyche. I think $20 would be about right. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
