Venus and Cupid is a 1892 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a woman sitting on a rock, holding a small child. She’s dressed in a loose, flowing robe, and the child clings to her. The background is dark and blurry, making them stand out. The artist used soft, smudged lines to create light and shadow, giving the figures a dreamy look. This style was popular in the late 1800s. Next, check out Impressionism to see more art like this.
