Venus and Eros with Mirror
This fresco (early 3rd c.) from the Baths of the Seven Sages shows Eros holding a mirror for Venus, who gazes at her reflection. The scene highlights themes of beauty and desire, fitting the baths' dual role in physical cleansing and sensual indulgence. Such imagery in Roman bathhouses underscores the cultural connection between personal grooming and the pursuit of aesthetic pleasure.
