Cupid Shooting an arrow
by ANTICO, Bronze, height 33 cm
On a profiled, disc-shaped plinth, Cupid stands on the left foot that is placed forward and with the heel of the right foot slightly away from the plinth. He holds the left arm out in front of him and the bent right one up. The curly hair, tied together in a tuft on the forehead, falls to the neck. He has small wings. A band runs from the right shoulder, which is held together on the left.
The surface of this statuette is highly finished and the hair and the band across the chest are gilt.
