Sculpture In Various Marbles "cupid And Psyche". 19th Century

Imposing marble sculpture group depicting “Cupid and Psyche”, inspired by the famous neoclassical model by Antonio Canova.
This large-scale work (130 x 86 cm), sculpted with great mastery between Italy and France towards the end of the 19th century, stands out for its refined execution and the use of three different marbles, harmoniously combined: one for the sculpture, one for the intermediate base, and a third for the shaped pedestal.

The composition, inspired by the iconic moment of Psyche’s awakening in the arms of Eros, is rendered with strong emotional intensity and elegant dynamism, enhanced by the anatomical accuracy and the softness of the drapery.

The piece has undergone a professional restoration on Psyche’s hand and on the index finger of Eros.

A rare object in terms of size, elegance, and quality—ideal for enriching prestigious interiors or 19th-century decorative sculpture collections.

Overall condition: excellent.
