A bronze statuette of a winged Cupid seated on a rock, indicating silence by placing his index finger on his right hand to his lips. His left hand reaching to a quiver of arrows lying by his side.

Falconet first exhibited his Seated Cupid in 1755 as a plaster model for a marble which he completed in 1757 for Madame de Pompadour. It was highly successful and it was reproduced by artists in a wide range of media. Falconet made his own reproductions in marble and bronze, as it is the case of this statuette.
