This etching by Bernard Picart, titled "Amor staande op schelp omgeven door ornament," depicts the Roman god of love, Cupid, standing on a seashell. The design is framed by a stylized floral garland with ornate scrollwork and two decorative candlesticks. This intricately detailed design, created between 1683 and 1733, is typical of Picart's work, known for its elegant ornamentation and symbolic imagery. The etching is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch decorative art.
