Using consonance, Hayden drives home both the hour and the temperature, noting “the ...

Lorenzo Lotto. Venus and Cupid.

Lorenzo Lotto’s “Venus and Cupid” painting is one of the most innocent and playful presentations of nudity. My first impression of the painting was - the color.

The third component that made me chose the painting was the mood. It is very uplifting.

According to Rule 801 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, Hearsay is a statement that is either: (1) the declarant does not make while testifying at the current trial or hearing; and (2) a party offers in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement.
