"The Welcome Cupid" is a porcelain figurine, created by the Höchster Porzellanmanufaktur GmbH, a renowned German porcelain factory, between 1770 and 1775. The figurine depicts a young woman dressed in a white gown and a pink and white shawl, welcoming a playful Cupid, with a small wing, who is reaching out to her. The scene is set on a small rocky base with green foliage, emphasizing the natural setting. The figurine, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the Rococo style's charming and playful aesthetic, typical of the 18th-century German porcelain industry.
