Anne-Killigrew-Venus-attired-by-the-Graces-kindly-lent-by-Falmouth-Art-Gallery

This isĀ Anne Killigrew again: Venus attired by the Graces. This painting may allude to her relationship with Mary Beale, who was often cast as a modern-day Venus. There is a piece in Apollo magazine (headed A Studio of One’s Own) which is excellent about the exhibition and the three women painters (here).
