David Teniers probably produced an oil study on canvas or panel (so-called pasticcio) of every painting in the collection of Leopold William of Austria, which served as models for the printmakers. It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have survived., Venus and Cupid (Cupid not being mere attribute), (high) hill, A reclining nude woman rests against a tree, her body turned slightly with one arm extended and the other holding a slender spear; her hair is wavy and she gazes outward. A winged child stands nearby, leaning forward and offering a shallow basket filled with flowers toward the woman. The scene is set on textured ground with draped fabric under the woman and a large tree with dense foliage behind her. In the background there are rolling hills and distant vegetation, and the entire image is rendered in fine etched lines.
