Description

Master of French sculpture in the 18th century, Etienne-Maurice Falconet (1716-1791) produced this composition for the Marquise de Pompadour.
This masterpiece is an allegorical subject depicting two winged loves quarreling to catch a heart that has fallen to the ground. The two cherubs in motion and full of life are made with finesse.
Touching, the two cherubs seem focused on their mission. Their downcast eyes give them an ingenuous air that moves. With a serious face surrounded by supple hair accompanied by curls, they appear determined. The plump and naked bodies are reminiscent of the joys and innocence of childhood. Pretty little wings, a bow, arrows and a garland of flowers perfectly illustrate the artist’s theme of love.
With its beautiful size, this Alabaster sculpture presented on a carved mahogany base, will charm you with the delicacy and purity of its lines.
