"Amor (Eros) kørende i en vogn på regnbuen" (1765-1865) by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund (1725-1793) depicts the Greek god of love, Eros, riding a chariot pulled by two white horses over a rainbow. The drawing, which is currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, utilizes pen and ink and watercolor to create a dynamic composition with a sense of lightness and airiness. This artwork highlights the artist’s skill in capturing movement and his interest in classical mythology.
