The design is based on the masterpiece "La Nascita di Venere" (The Birth of Venus) by Sandro Botticelli. The captivating composition depicts the goddess of love and beauty arriving on the shores of the island of Cyprus, having been born from the sea spray and blown there by the winds, Zephyr and perhaps Aura. The goddess stands gracefully on a giant scallop shell, as pure and perfect as a pearl. She is greeted by a young woman, sometimes identified as one of the Graces or as the Hora of spring, who holds out a cloak covered in flowers. Even the roses, blown in by the wind, serve as a reminder of the spring season.

The subject of the painting, which celebrates Venus as a symbol of love and beauty, was likely suggested by the renowned poet Agnolo Poliziano. This captivating renaissance-era masterpiece has become an enduring icon of classical art and the Italian Renaissance, making it a fitting choice for a timeless and visually striking gift.
