Amorin, legende med dyr 1671 - 1738

This drawing, created between 1671 and 1738 by Danish artist Hendrik Krock, depicts a cherub, or amorin, reaching up to pluck fruit from a tree. The drawing, a preliminary study for a larger work, is executed in a delicate, yet assured, style. The use of shading and hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, highlighting the amorin’s graceful pose. This drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, demonstrates Krock's skill and his attention to detail in capturing the essence of a classical subject.
