Detailed informations: Subject: tall figurine group (cupid being in dire straits) The Roman Goddess Venus sits on a stool being busy with clipping Cupid's wings whereas the lovely distressed AMOR cherub turns itself towards Venus' young female companion - a seated classical maiden being situated on a marble block, having broken Cupid's Arrow of Love already. Additionally, cherub's broken bow is visible on earth, too - only the quiver filled with some arrows seems to be still intact / in one piece ... Finally, two doves caressing each other sit on earth: These are symbols of LOVE. - We have to state here that Cupid / Amor has not only flawed wings, but also damaged weapons which means that CUPID OF LOVE has lost its power totally ... This gorgeous figurine group is attached to oval base with decorative frieze.
