Pyramus, Thisbe og en amorin is a painting created around 1750 by an artist associated with the number 37263. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The painting depicts three figures in a somber setting: a slumped figure supported by another, and a winged figure, likely a cupid, leaning over them with a serious expression. The scene may represent a narrative related to love or fate, as cupids are often associated with these themes in art.
