Kærlighed og Forfængelighed 1760

"Kærlighed og Forfængelighed" (Love and Vanity) is an etching by Danish artist Hans Quist, created in 1760. The artwork depicts a woman gazing into a mirror, captivated by her own reflection, while Cupid, the Roman god of love, looks on with a disappointed expression. The scene is set in a picturesque landscape, with a tree providing shade and a distant cityscape hinting at the complexities of human relationships. Quist's work reflects the Rococo period's fascination with themes of love, beauty, and the fleeting nature of life. This small etching is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
