Amor biedt een man een roos aan
This drawing has puzzled scholars because of its complicated iconography. It probably depicts Cupid offering a rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence, a theme that is taken from a late Latin epigram. The rose served as a bribe to keep the escapades of Amor's mother Venus a secret. [Source: Govert Flinck : Reflecting History]
