En stående amor i et landskab is a 1750 by Unknown, depicting Eros, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black and white photograph depicts a young, winged figure standing in a landscape. The figure is nude, with a bow and quiver of arrows slung over their shoulder. They hold a bow in their left hand, with their right arm resting on a tree trunk. The figure has curly hair and stands on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by foliage. The photograph is rendered in a soft, monochromatic style, with subtle gradations of tone that evoke a sense of depth and volume. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the figure is lost in thought. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the profile of 649_person.
