Kartusche mit Venus und Amor 

This pen and ink drawing by Georg Melchior Kraus depicts a design for a cartouche with Venus and Amor. The design features an oval frame with a scene of Venus and Amor surrounded by elaborate rococo ornamentation, typical of the 18th century. This drawing, now in the Städel Museum, is likely a preparatory sketch for a larger decorative project. The intricate details and skillful use of line work demonstrate Kraus's talent for architectural and decorative design.
