Cupid Complaining to Venus

Peter Flötner

Cleveland Museum of Art

A relief sculpture of a scene on a flat rectangular gray metal plate. A woman on the left wearing a long flowing dress with short hair turned to the right toward a small child. The woman's head is bowed down. The small child, naked with a bow and quiver full of arrows on the back, one knee on the ground and one leg bent up. The child looks up to the woman. Trees on both sides of the plate, a cityscape with a domed building and other buildings are in the background.
