Cupid, the winged boy of Roman mythology, is shown here holding a garland beside a woman in a long gown, a pairing that ties the picture to the old tradition of love as a theme for decorative art. Valentine's Day imagery drew heavily on Cupid for much of the nineteenth century, when printed cards and illustrated sheets turned the figure into a shorthand for romance. Notice how the garland works as a gift or tribute, a motif that appears again and again in courtship scenes of the period.
