Fickle Love

Augustin Pajou

Cleveland Museum of Art

White marble sculpture of a cherub, titled "Fickle Love", created by Augustin Pajou. The cherub is depicted as a chubby, nude child with short, curly hair and wings on their back. They are standing on a round base with their right leg crossed over their left, and their weight shifted onto their right leg. In their right hand, they hold a flower or plant with large leaves, while their left hand grasps a small object, possibly a flower or fruit. The sculpture sits atop a rectangular metal base with small feet. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
