Description
"Cupid, a winged adolescent, offers a rose to a butterfly he is holding by the wings. The butterfly, a prisoner, symbolizes the soul (Psyche in Greek). The theme inspired Chaudet to create a graceful composition, whose linear harmony and delicate details are heightened by his beautiful treatment of the marble."
