This etching by Abraham Bosse, created before 1643, is a design for a fireplace with decorative elements. The central motif depicts Venus and Cupid, framed by a wreath and supported by two cherubs. This detail adds a classical touch and embodies themes of love and beauty. The piece is highly detailed, showcasing Bosse's mastery of architectural and ornamental design, as seen in the elaborate framing, the intricate carvings, and the use of perspective.
