About this work

This engraved print shows a reclining male figure, with a fallen boar-hunting spear and a dog beside him, while a grieving woman leans over him in a wooded setting. Cupids and doves gather in the clouds above and a small cupid touches the reclining figure's arm. The composition is framed by a decorative garland of flowers and ribbons, with the designer's name Boucher del. and the engraver's name N. Le Mire sc. inscribed in the lower corners.
