The Blindfolding of Cupid

George Romney

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures in classical attire. It depicts seven figures in various poses, mostly seated and draped in flowing garments reminiscent of ancient classical style. One small, unclothed figure stands confidently with arms crossed, while another robed figure leans over to tend to them. Some figures have their heads bowed or are looking towards the central figure. The use of simple lines effectively captures the texture of the drapery and postures of the figures.
