Amour et Psyché
Description
Amour, nu, portant un bracelet en haut du bras, debout, de face, enlace Psyché, également debout, qui s'appuie, de la main gauche, sur une colonnette, tandis que son bras droit enlace les épaules de l'Amour. Le vêtement de Psyché dénude partiellement son buste. Les visages se joignent dans l'échange d'un baiser. Les ailes de l'Amour servent de fond à la scène installéee sur un socle rectangulaire, constitutif de l’œuvre, à la façade moulurée. La statuette est creuse et les personnages en ronde-bosse, en particulier au niveau des membres inférieurs, donnant l'impression que les personnages se détachent sur le fond. Évelyne Ugaglia, 2005
