A labour of love in art history: Falconet's Cupid Falconet presented a plaster model of his Cupid as early as 1755 and was met with enthusiasm by the critics of his time. Two years later, he was presented as a marble statue together with his equally famous work 'La Beigneuse'. The finger of Cupid pointing to the closed lips promises secrecy. And yet, smiling mischievously into himself, he seems to be aware of his power over every human destiny. Original: Musée du Louvre, Paris. Marble. ars mundi museum replica, cast stone, moulded by hand. Size 12 x 24 x 13.5 cm (w/h/d), weight 2.5 kg.
