Sleeping Woman with a Cupid (Hush) 1780 - 1790

"Sleeping Woman with a Cupid (Hush)" is an etching by the Swiss-born artist Henry Fuseli, created between 1780 and 1790. The work depicts a reclining, sleeping woman with a Cupid flying above her, holding an arrow. The composition is dramatic and evocative, with the woman's relaxed pose and the Cupid's poised flight creating a sense of anticipation. The etching, now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to Fuseli's mastery of line and his ability to capture emotion and symbolism through his work.
