The Veil of Cupids c. 18th century

"The Veil of Cupids" is an 18th-century red chalk drawing by an anonymous artist, depicting cherubs flying in a swirling, cloud-like formation. The cherubs, often associated with love and innocence, appear to be caught in a celestial dance, their playful gestures adding to the ethereal nature of the composition. This drawing, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work, exhibits the artist's mastery of line and subtle shading, creating a sense of depth and movement in the scene.
