"The Marriage of Cupid and Psyche" (1797) is a satirical print by James Gillray, a prominent English caricaturist. The print depicts the myth of Cupid and Psyche, but with a humorous twist. It shows four cherubs in a circular frame, each one engaging in a comical activity related to the myth, creating a parody of the original story and referencing contemporary social issues.
