Venus Disarming Cupid, Important Porcelain Biscuit Group/sculpture/statue
Venus disarming Cupid Important biscuit group.
The goddess, crowned with flowers and draped in an antique toga, negligently reveals her chest.
She holds in her right hand, placed on a column, the quiver of arrows and the bow that she has just taken from Love.
Her other hand bridles a garland of flowers to clasp and hold the little winged and mischievous being who puts his left index finger to his mouth, as if to keep a secret. The looks and attitudes are most charming.
On the back of the cookie is the hollow inscription: "after Boizot"
Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809).
Sculptor to the king Louis XVI and director of the sculpture workshop at the Manufacture de Sèvres. He received the Prix de Rome in sculpture in 1762.
47x26×21.5cm
