This top-piece is a sketch-like drawing from a double-page spread in an article about an English couple visiting France. We see two winged cherubs standing facing one another either side of a pediment on which rests an arrow pierving two hearts. The boys have loin-cloths. One is carrying perhaps a stick, the other holding a bow. The festoons that curve down and away from the boys’ feet are in the form of chains, with magnets or horseshoes at the end.

I did not see a credit for a specific artist.
