"Venus reclining, holding an arrow, looking towards a full moon" is a painting by the English artist William Etty, known for his depictions of historical and mythological subjects, often with a focus on the nude figure. Created in the 19th century, this work exemplifies Etty's fascination with classical themes and his skill in rendering the human form. The painting portrays Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, in a moment of repose, her body gracefully reclined as she holds an arrow, a symbol often associated with her son, Cupid, the god of desire. The inclusion of the full moon in the composition adds a layer of symbolism, as the moon is frequently connected with femininity and the goddess's own cycles of love and attraction.

Etty's technique in this piece, with its rich color palette and attention to anatomical detail, reflects his academic training and his admiration for the Old Masters. The sensuous curves of Venus's figure and the soft, atmospheric treatment of the surrounding landscape highlight Etty's ability to blend realism with idealization. "Venus reclining, holding an arrow, looking towards a full moon" is considered an example of Etty's mature work and contributes to the understanding of Romanticism in British art, as well as the era's attitudes towards mythological subject matter and the nude form.

The painting's provenance, critical reception, and influence on subsequent artists contribute to its significance in Etty's oeuvre and in the broader context of 19th-century British art. As with many of Etty's works, this painting may have been subject to the period's moral and artistic debates surrounding the depiction of nudity and sensuality in art. Today, the piece is studied for its aesthetic qualities, its reflection of Etty's artistic ambitions, and its place within the narrative of British art history.
