The work, signed on the bronze terrace, represents cupid, god of love in roman mythology. The deity is represented as a young man with youthful features and curly hair, a pair of wings reminiscent of the figure of the angel on his back. He carries his quiver of arrows and his bow, instruments that are supposed to illustrate the points of desire that he plants in the hearts of men.
this print rests on a sea-green marble base, embellished with a gadrooned bronze collar and a cartouche bearing the words "houdebine bronzier, paris", a foundry active from 1845 to 1910.
poetic and airy, this magnificent bronze of love will awaken your sensitivity, while marking your decoration by the accuracy of its realization.
