About the piece

Painted in 1833 by William Hilton, this romantic work captures the winged Cupid in a moment of playful preparation. The soft, luminous skin tones and loose, expressive brushwork are characteristic of the British school during the early 19th century, creating a scene that is both classical in subject and intimate in feeling.
