Cupid

Cupid  is an original pencil drawing on thick cream-colored paper, realized by The French artist  Auguste Leroux  ( Paris 1871-1954) painter and illustrator.

Dated in pencil on lower left margin " 9.X.1880".

A beautiful original drawing representing a playing cupid with the typical rapid line of the sketch, revealing a skilled and trained hand. On the back two pencil sketches representing a lying down cupid.

A pleasant modern artwork, in very good conditions, except for some graphite stains and dust on the sheet and a light fold of the paper.
