Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts five cherubic, naked children with wings, gathered around a fountain. Three are in the foreground and two are behind them to the left. The children in the foreground have fair skin and curly blonde or brown hair. One child sits on the left with their elbow resting on their knee and their head in their hand. Another child sits on the right with their arms wrapped around the child in the middle. The child in the middle sits with their legs crossed and looks down. The child behind them to the right looks down at them. The child behind them to the left sits on a rock. The fountain is on the left and has a large bowl with water flowing down the sides. There are plants growing around the base of the fountain and other plants and trees in the background. A large shell-like structure is on the right. The sky is blue with white clouds. The title of the painting is "Cupids in Conspiracy" and the artist is François Boucher.
