Cupid and Psyche

Jan Muller, after Bartholomaeus Spranger

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a group of figures in a classical setting. In the center, a reclining nude woman lies on a draped bed. A cherub-like child stands to her left, holding a piece of drapery. Another cherub flies above, holding fabric. On the right stands a winged male figure holding a bow. In the foreground, a small putto holds an arrow. The background features detailed drapery, columns, and an ornamental piece, creating a rich classical environment.
