by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon
A small oval original illustration of Venus and Cupid in white and black on a sepia ground. Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758-1823) was born in Burgundy and began studying painting at the age of sixteen. After working in Dijon and Paris, he spent the years of 1784-1787 in Italy, where he was influenced by the work of earlier Italian painters. On his return to France he became a supporter of the Revolution, and was later favored with commissions by Napoleon. Condition: very good; no evidence of damage. Matted and framed; not examined out of frame.
