Amor Possibly 1757

"Amor," a red chalk drawing by Louis Marin Bonnet, depicts a winged cherub lying on its back. The cherub's body is rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing the human form. This study, likely created around 1757, demonstrates Bonnet's mastery of the figure and his interest in the classical tradition. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the enduring appeal of the cherubic motif.
