This porcelain figurine of Cupid, holding a bow and arrow, is a charming example of Rococo style, produced by the Saint James's Factory in England between 1755 and 1765. The delicate details and whimsical pose of the cherubic figure capture the playful spirit of the era, while the elaborate base of leafy vines enhances the sense of natural beauty. The small size of the figurine suggests it was likely a decorative piece for a private collection or a lady's boudoir.
