About the piece
This 17th-century painting, likely inspired by Parmigianino’s iconic composition, depicts a young Cupid skillfully carving his bow. The figure’s dynamic, over-the-shoulder gaze and the inclusion of two playful putti at his feet create a sophisticated allegorical scene, characteristic of the Mannerist and Baroque traditions.
