Amor with a sorceress and a sleeping soldier, print, album page, A half-naked sorceress with sagging breasts looks at Amor, who flies past her window. Surrounding her are magical attributes and inscriptions. On the right, a sleeping soldier. This print is part of an album., printmaker: Quirin Boel, Southern Netherlands, after painting by Correggio, Italy, publisher: David Teniers (II), Brussels, grantor of privilege: Spanish crown, 1660, paper, etching, engraving, etching and engraving, height 231 mm x width 171 mm, David Teniers probably produced an oil study on canvas or panel (so-called pasticcio) of all the paintings in the collection of Leopold William of Austria, which served as models for the printmakers. It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have survived., (story of) Cupid, Amor (Eros), the soldier, the soldier's life, witch(es), sorcerer(s) at work, A monochrome engraving shows an interior scene with a partially undressed seated woman looking upward and pointing toward a winged cherub that flies through a tall arched window; the woman sits on a carved chair draped with fabric and holds more cloth at her knee, her hair loosely styled and her torso exposed. Beside her a reclining bearded man leans on a large vessel and rests his head on one arm, with various jugs, bowls, and an open book nearby; heavy drapery frames the upper corners of the scene and a small star-like emblem appears near the man's head. The floor in front of them displays scattered objects including a bow, arrows, and a round dish, while the distant view through the window reveals a simple horizon and low hills.
