Love is a 1615 ink by Pieter Feddes, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three figures tangled in vines and branches. A woman holds a child, while a smaller child reaches toward her. The scene is dark and busy, with swirling lines and rough textures filling the background. The artist used sharp lines to create drama, making the figures look both strong and caught in a struggle. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
