Naked women are a rather unusual theme in Spanish painting. While Velazquez retain only a picture of naked, it is known that at least three others painted. The first record of this book is from 1651, from the collection of the Marquis del Carpio, who was the son of the prime minister of the king.

The picture might be painted by Vel�zquez`s second trip to Italy (1649-1651) and Italy itself, where it would be sent to Spain. The artist created an image of the goddess Venus, but the idea and present it back recline, with Cupid holding the mirror comes from Titian.

Instead of showing strong contrasts of light and shade and develop with painstaking fidelity surface texture of objects to create an illusion of reality, here comes Vel�zquez painting what the eye actually sees. The colors blend with one another, do not stand out the contours and details are suggested but not described. The reflection of the goddess is not real, because the mirror can not collect the face of Venus from this position. An additional strip at the top of the canvas indicates that the inclusion of Cupid with the mirror was subsequent to the first embodiment.
