I'd guess that it depicts Venus and Mars. It reminds me of how they were depicted by Paolo Veronese, but in general I`d guess that it dates from the 1500s or 1600s (or is a copy after a painting from that period).

The hug looks somewhat violent for Venus and Mars. I prefer to see the abduction of Proserpine. A photo showing the whole painting would help. I guess it is a venitian school around Antonio Molinari.
