Amor mit dem Bogen des Herkules : Marmorstatue im Museum zu Berlin

Friederichs, Karl, 1831-1871, Königliche Museen zu Berlin · 1867 · Berlin : Gedruckt auf Kosten der Archäologischen Gesellschaft, in Commission bei W. Hertz (Bessersche Buchhandlung) · 2 pictures

An 1867 Berlin monograph by Karl Friederichs, published by the Archäologische Gesellschaft, studying a marble statue of Amor with a bow in the Königliche Museen collection, aimed at archaeologists and scholars of classical sculpture. The first plate shows the nude winged Cupid leaning on a bow and tree stump in a crisp pencil-like tonal rendering, while the second shows small oval medallion sketches of winged figures, useful for designers studying classical figure poses, outline drawing, and oval cameo framing.
