Morning Toilet of Venus is a 1893 painting by the Russian artist Victor Stember.

This is a ceiling mural at an unknown location in Moscow.

The family was able to view another ceiling mural (#70 in this gallery) while in Moscow.  It has been completely restored and is truly beautiful.  It is the ceiling in the music room in the Serenikovo Manor Home which was owned by the Stolipin family and in which the famous Russian poet, Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov lived for 3 years. It is now a Retreat or Conference Center outside of Moscow.
