CAYOT, Claude-Augustin (b. 1677, Paris, d. 1722, Paris) |
Cupid and Psyche1706Marble Wallace Collection, London | ||
Little work by Cayot survives, but the Cupid and Psyche, signed and dated 1706, is remarkable for its accomplishment. Its pervasive infantile grace is such that Psyche too has become a child - a very unusual motif - but the play between the two children is hardly innocent.
