This pen and wash drawing by Danish sculptor Johannes Wiedewelt, titled *Fontæne med Amorfigur*, depicts a design for a fountain topped with a cherubic figure of Amor. Wiedewelt, who is known for his neoclassical sculptures, created this design sometime between 1731 and 1802. The drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Wiedewelt's interest in the classical and his skill in architectural design. This small, detailed drawing offers a glimpse into the process of design during the 18th century.
