NB: In Greek mythology Eros, who became Cupid in Roman mythology, god of Love is the son of Mars and Venus. He is armed with his arrow and his quiver to pierce hearts. This subject is always pleasant and finding it placed on a rose adds grace to this object. Rose is the middle name of Joséphine de Beauharnais, we often find the rose represented at the time of the Empire in reference to the empress.
