Cupid Shaping Clay in a Pot

An engraved print shows an elderly bearded man in a turban and spectacles leaning toward a small pot, beside a nude winged cupid standing on rocky ground with a trailing vine at his feet. The dark background and soft tonal shading give the scene a dim, intimate atmosphere.
