Cupid testing one of his arrows Jacques Verberckt

Commissioned in 1752 by the Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV and patron of the arts, the statue was shown to the king before its presentation to the public at the French Royal Academy’s annual Salon. This Cupid is displayed at the Louvre opposite Falconet’s Menacing Cupid, another masterpiece acquired by the Marquise, who was particularly fond of contemporary sculpture.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.
