Bust of Sleeping Cupid

His bare shoulder and one large feathered wing extend toward the upper right within a bordered rectangle. Fine parallel hatching models the soft flesh and feathers in a grayish-green and black print.

Español: Cupido dormido, vista de busto, xilografía claroscuro

Un querubín alado duerme con la cabeza apoyada sobre una tela doblada, los ojos cerrados y los rizos enmarcando el rostro. Su hombro desnudo y un ala grande con plumas se extienden hacia la parte superior derecha dentro de un marco rectangular. Finas líneas paralelas modelan la carne y las plumas en una estampa verde grisáceo y negra.
