<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 1827590, member: 5833&quot;]Great find!&nbsp; I have not seen this composition before, but suspect there is a painting out there somewhere it was copied from.&nbsp; My best guess is that it is Cupid &amp; the <a href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/three-graces" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/three-graces" rel="nofollow">3 Graces</a>.&nbsp; You see no wings but that is probably a bow in the little guys hand.&nbsp; The Graces were part of his mother Venus&#039;s household &amp; there are many scenes of the 4 of them together.&nbsp; They are sort of cowering because they are bathing &amp; because all the other gods were afraid of Cupid, his arrows made them do foolish things they regret later.</p><p><br /></p><p>A really ambitious effort of our good friend &#039;Silz&#039;, aka Charles Schmoll:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]241345[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There are so many Schmolls floating around that it is possible to see his skill developing.&nbsp; He became very good &amp; in his later career tackled whole scenes this way instead of the usual profile heads of a bacchante or Flora which are so ubiquitous, but never achieved master status.&nbsp; The perspective really defeated him on this one of mine:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]241348[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
