Fotoreproductie van een tekening, voorstellende Cupido met een leeuwin before 1859

Franz Mattig's "Fotoreproductie van een tekening, voorstellende Cupido met een leeuwin," a photo reproduction of a drawing, depicts the Roman god Cupid lying on the ground with a lioness stalking him in the background. The drawing suggests a narrative, perhaps from Roman mythology or a literary work. Mattig's precise role in the creation of the artwork is unclear. The photo reproduction's small size suggests it was meant for personal use or as part of a collection. The drawing's detailed depiction of the figures and the lush landscape creates a sense of drama and intrigue.
