DescriptionCupid, a young boy with wings, stands among five women, possibly nymphs. His ankles are bound and one of the young women is in the process of tying his hands behind his back with thin cord. The women wear classical gowns. The boy is nude. One woman holds a branch with two roses on it. Another touches Cupid's arm with a stalk of flowers. Two arrows lie on a cloth in the foreground. Roses grow on a bush at the left. Trees are in the background.
