"Portrait of a Young Woman and Child, as Venus and Cupid" is a notable work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the English court during the 17th century. The painting is a full-length depiction of a young woman and child, representing the mythological figures of Venus, the goddess of love, and her son Cupid, the god of desire. The identity of the young woman in the painting is believed to be either Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, and Duchess of Cleveland (1640-1709), or Nell Gwyn (1650-1687), both of whom were famous mistresses of King Charles II of England. The painting is characteristic of Lely's style, which was influenced by the Baroque movement and known for its sensuality, elegance, and the portrayal of his subjects in an idealized manner.

In the artwork, the young woman is depicted almost naked, with drapery strategically placed to both reveal and conceal, a common motif in representations of Venus. She is positioned beside an urn, with a landscape visible in the background, which adds to the classical and romantic ambiance of the scene. The inclusion of an urn and a landscape background is typical of Lely's work, which often incorporated such elements to enhance the allegorical and mythological references in his portraits.

Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680) was born Pieter van der Faes in Soest, Germany, and later moved to England where he became the Principal Painter to Charles I. Following the restoration of the monarchy, he continued to serve as the court painter under Charles II. Lely's portraits of the ladies of the court, often referred to as the "Windsor Beauties," are particularly celebrated for their portrayal of the sitters' grace and beauty.

The painting "Portrait of a Young Woman and Child, as Venus and Cupid" is a testament to Lely's skill in capturing the opulence and sensuality of the Restoration court. It reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, where classical mythology was frequently employed as a vehicle for depicting contemporary figures in a flattering and romanticized light. This work remains an important example of Lely's contribution to British portraiture and the visual culture of the 17th century.
