"Venus Attired by the Graces" is a poem by Anne Killigrew (1660–1685), an English poet and painter who was one of the few female courtiers in the arts during the Restoration era. Killigrew's work, which includes a collection of poems published posthumously in 1686, reflects her education and status as a maid of honor to Mary of Modena, Duchess of York. The poem is a notable example of her lyrical and often pastoral style, which was influenced by the metaphysical poets and her contemporaries.

In "Venus Attired by the Graces," Killigrew explores themes of beauty, divinity, and the interplay between the mortal and the divine. The poem is structured as a narrative that depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, being adorned by the three Graces, goddesses who represent charm, beauty, and creativity. The imagery and allegorical elements present in the poem are characteristic of the Baroque period's fascination with classical mythology and its use in reflecting contemporary ideals of femininity and aesthetics.

Killigrew's poetry was well-regarded by her contemporaries, and her work was praised by notable figures such as the poet John Dryden, who wrote an ode to her memory. "Venus Attired by the Graces" stands as a testament to her artistic talent and her ability to weave classical references into her work, which has been recognized for its intellectual depth and emotional resonance.

The poem itself, while not as widely known as some of her other works, contributes to the understanding of the role of women in the arts during the 17th century and provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Restoration court. Killigrew's dual talents as both a visual artist and a poet make her a unique figure in the history of English literature and art, and her work, including "Venus Attired by the Graces," continues to be studied for its literary and historical significance.
