"Cupid and Psyche" is a wallpaper design by Jean-Baptiste Huet I, created between 1805 and 1815. The design features a repeating pattern of scenes from the myth of Cupid and Psyche, a popular subject in art during the Neoclassical period. The wallpaper is printed in a muted palette of browns, yellows, and greens, with delicate details in white and black. This iconic wallpaper design, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the artistry of printed textiles during the early 19th century.
