Venus and Cupid - statuette group by Antonio Canova c. 1798-1799, terracotta
#cupid#venus#art#I was looking for something else entirely when I found this#and I had to stop and look at it for a bit#it's very sweet to me and feels so much like a mother and her child in a way some other pieces of venus and cupid do not#I love his little wings and how he's giving her a little kiss#I love how she's holding him close#how she's protective but warm#erato
