"Cartouche met een Amor drijvend op zijn pijlenkoker" is an etching by Abraham Bosse, created in 1635. The artwork is a cartouche, which is a decorative frame or border, featuring a cherub riding on a quiver of arrows. The central image is framed by stylized foliage and a banner reading "CLYTOPHON & LEVCIPE," likely referencing a play or story. The overall design is typical of the Baroque style with its elaborate ornamentation and decorative flourishes. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Bosse's skill in etching, showcasing his mastery of detail and his ability to create both realistic and fantastical elements.
