"Erot with Cerberus" is a pencil drawing created by Eugen Eduard Schäffer in 1820. The drawing depicts the Greek god of love, Erot, kneeling on the ground with his arm around the three-headed dog Cerberus. The drawing is notable for its delicate lines and shading, capturing the figures' soft curves and textures. The composition is also striking, with Erot and Cerberus placed in a triangular frame, creating a sense of intimacy and tension. This drawing is a beautiful example of Schäffer's skill as a draftsman, and it showcases his fascination with classical mythology and iconography.
