A drawing of Venus seated naked on a rock as she pulls a thorn from her foot. This is a study for La Tintura della Rosa in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen. See also RCIN 904227, 904100. These drawings probably represent ideas produced in connection with the painting, and then rejected by the artist.
