Acquaforte misure: mm 164 × 130 Pittore ed incisore allievo di Guido Reni e di Giovanni Andrea Sirani dai quali spesso ha desunto i soggetti delle sue incisioni. Più noto come incisore che come pittore segue i modi classicisti del maestro Guido Reni adottando un segno chiaro e sciolto; è oggi considerato uno dei protagonisti del panorama grafico bolognese di pieno Seicento; a lui vengono ricondotte venticinque lastre in tutto secondo Bartsch nelle quali si evince qualche incertezza nelle morsure. In questo foglio viene raffigurato cupido colto in una posa classica che teneramente giace su dei cuscini lasciati a terra, la scena si svolge all'interno di una tenda lasciata aperta in modo da mostrare allo spettatore il paesaggio sullo sfondo caratterizzato da un esile arbusto e da delle rocce. Il dio dell'Amore è assopito, ha gli occhi chiusi e la bocca aperta e a terra possiamo notare abbandonati l'arco e le frecce. Buona impressione nello stato unico, foglio rifilato lungo l’impronta del rame, carta ingiallita, una macchia nell’angolo superiore destro del foglio e un piccolo foro sul ventre di cupido. L’incisione è applicata in antico su una pagina di album (databile al secolo XVIII). Bibliografia: Bartsch, “Le Peintre Graveur”, vol. 19, pag. 91, n° 20; The Illustrated Bartsch, vol. 42, 20 (176).
