Two cupids keep watch over a sleeping woman, with a spray of pink roses drifting nearby, a pairing that makes the scene read as a dream of love rather than a moment of ordinary rest. Images like this belong to a long tradition of allegorical painting and print-making, in which the sleeper stands for the heart waiting to be touched by desire, and the cupids serve as messengers of that longing. Roses in particular carried strong associations with romance and fleeting beauty, which is why they appear so often alongside Cupid on Valentine's Day cards and in sentimental art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Look closely at the tenderness of the poses and the soft, dreamlike atmosphere, which were prized qualities of the period.
