A stunning and extremely high quality French mid 19th century Alabaster statue of Cupid and Psyche. The statue after a model by Antonio Canova is raised by a wonderfully executed ground designed base where Cupid is reviving Psyche who was put to sleep by inhaling a magical perfume. She is draped in a richly sculpted flowing garment the intricately detailed Cupid coming to her aid.
