Venus and Cupid 1621 - 1675

"Venus and Cupid" is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Allart van Everdingen, created between 1621 and 1675. The print depicts the Roman goddess Venus, accompanied by her son Cupid, floating amongst clouds. This small-scale work, measuring just 6 3/8 × 4 15/16 in., is a fine example of Everdingen's skill in capturing detail and light through the medium of etching. It can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
