Provenance: Ex American private collection, acquired before 2000s In Roman culture, Eros, also known as Cupid, was a symbol of love, desire, and attraction. Originally derived from the Greek god of love, Eros in the Roman pantheon became associated with Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Representations of Eros often depicted him as a youthful, playful figure with wings, carrying a bow and arrows, which he used to strike love into the hearts of gods and mortals alike. His mischievous and unpredictable nature made him a popular subject in Roman art and literature, embodying the capricious and consuming power of love. In both public and private art, Eros appeared frequently, sometimes in multiples, as symbols of love’s universality.. Record preserved in the Antikarts Museum as a documentary reference.
