Cupid Crowning Two Lovers

Valerio Belli

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is an oval relief depicting three figures. In the center, a small, nude, winged figure stands atop a pedestal or altar, holding circular objects in both hands. Flanking the central figure are two larger, draped figures on each side, possibly interacting with the central figure. The sculpture is made of a silver-toned metal with a darkened surface, creating a contrast. It is framed by a raised border and has a small hole at the top.
