Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Edmonia Lewis occasionally carved sculptures of mythical scenes, which were very popular with American tourists visiting Rome. Poor Cupid, or Love Ensnared, depicts the cherub with his hand caught in a trap as he reaches down for a rose. Frivolous sculptures like this appealed to the Victorian sentimentality of affluent Americans traveling around Europe." http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=14631
Date modeled ca. 1872, carved 1876
