Etching, circa 1758. 458x295 mm; 18 1/4x11 3/4 inches. Second state (of 2), with the inscription lower center. A superb, richly-inked and early impression with very strong contrasts and no sign of wear.
Tiepolo (1727-1804) based this etching on his father's, Giovanni B. Tiepolo (1696-1770), same-titled painting (the English title reads Venus entrusting Cupid to Time) now in the National Gallery, London. DeVesme 100; Rizzi 148.
