"Psyche og den sovende Amor" is an etching by Albert Haelwegh, a Flemish artist active during the 17th century. The artwork, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. The etching depicts Psyche gazing at the sleeping Eros, holding a lamp in her hand, with a figure in the background casting a dramatic shadow. The intimate and emotive scene showcases Haelwegh's skilled handling of light and shadow, characteristic of Baroque art.
