About the Item

Marble-based bronze statuette depicting Cupid, holding an arrow in his hand, walking caressing a lion's mane, lowered in the act of affectionately licking his little foot. The subject is an allegory of love conquering all, dominating and defeating force. These types of desk objects became a very common production in Europe between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed primarily as souvenirs of grand tour travels.
