This sketch shows three winged figures floating above soft clouds. The central figure, a woman with flowing hair, sits sideways on a cloud, looking down. To her left, a smaller winged boy points toward her. On her right, another winged figure leans forward, holding a scroll or ribbon. The text below names the scene: *Psyche Carried by Zephyr to the Palace Built by Cupid*. The artist copied it from a sketch by Angelica Kauffman, a famous painter. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this print was made.
