A free copy, dating from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century, of the fresco in one of the spandrels of the painted Loggia di Psiche in the Villa Farnesina, Rome. Raphael and his studio decorated this space in 1518–1519 with scenes from the story of Cupid and Psyche. The spandrel from which this painting was copied may have been painted by Raphael's senior assistant, Giulio Romano. The copyist has altered the format to a square shape.
