Cupid is shown here as a marble figure with one finger raised to his lips, a pose that signals silence or secrecy, which is an unusual gesture for the god of love. The figure stands on a pedestal, a setting that marks it as a carved work meant to be looked at rather than a religious or household object. Sculptures of Cupid were popular in European and American art from the Renaissance onward, and the finger-to-lips pose draws on classical models, where a child god with this gesture often suggests the hidden or discreet nature of love.
