This is possibly La Naissance de Venus painted by Cazes for a competition of 1727, organised by the Duc d'Antin (Superintendent of the King's Buildings and Protector of the Academy) to popularise history painting. Louis XV (King of France 1715-1774) provided the prize money. An alternative title for this painting is 'The Triumph of Venus'.
