I saw this beautiful neoclassical sculpture at the Wallace collection.
That famous love & tragic story of ancient mythology.
Cupid (the God of love) unwittingly falls in love with Psyche (Greek: “soul”) who is a mortal princess with a beauty that rivals the goddess Venus herself.

A v. famous subject of art - e.g. this is by the Italian Neoclassical sculptor Canova at the Louvre:
Psyche and Cupid by Antonio Canova
The Canova is so smooth, the bodies look sublime.
