Cupid. Glazed porcelain. Possibly Meissen, 19th century. With sticker on the base. Shows signs of restoration. A porcelain figurine featuring an oval, gilded base upon which Cupid reclines, depicted as usual with his wings, bow, and quiver of arrows. He also carries a torch and is adorned with a garland of leaves. The piece bears strong similarities to figures found on Meissen clocks dating from the 19th century. VL Veneziani was a shop headquartered on Via Frattina in Rome (with another shop on Via Gregoriana) specializing in antique and period paintings, furniture, and porcelain. Works related to this business are held in several private collections and by the Fondazione Federico Zeri of the University of Bologna.
