L'enfant qui joue avec l'Amour 1769 - 1770

"L'enfant qui joue avec l'Amour" is a 1769-1770 etching by J.F. Clemens. The artwork depicts two cherubic figures interacting, one with a bird in their hand, seemingly playing a game of tug-of-war with love. The figures are portrayed in a naturalistic style, with detailed anatomical features and expressive faces. The composition is balanced, with the figures set against a rocky background, creating a sense of depth and realism. Clemens was a notable Danish artist active during the 18th century. This piece, located in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases his mastery of the etching medium and his interest in classical mythology and symbolism.
