Description

This Cupid statue was originally made of porcelain by Etienne Falconet was the Director of the sculpture workshop at the Royal Sevres Porcelain Factory. Cupid is the confidant of Venus, for whom he keeps the secrets of her love life. He is on the verge of taking an arrow out of his quiver with his left hand.
