Schild, jongeman en twee amoretten tussen bladranken before 1742

This is a black and white etching by the Baroque artist Alexis Loir, dating from before 1742. It features an intricate design of scrolling foliage, two cherubs, a young man, and a rabbit. The artwork demonstrates Loir's mastery of decorative art, known for his engravings and designs that served as decorative elements for books and other printed materials. The intricate detail and use of light and shadow in this etching highlight Loir's ability to create a sense of depth and realism within the flat surface of the paper. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the elegance and artistry of the Baroque period.
