Studies of Aphrodite for "Aphrodite and Eros" is a 1920 charcoal by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros. It's a delicate charcoal drawing with gentle lines. The artist used simple lines to convey a sense of beauty and love, which is interesting because it shows how much can be done with so little detail. You can learn more about the artist who created this by looking up Sargent, John Singer.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
