Photograph of a spandrel that is part of the fresco by Raphael and his workshop in the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche in the Villa Farnesina. It depicts Cupid as a winged, nude male figure, his hand pointing into the distance, as if showing something to the Three Graces next to him. The Three Graces are shown here as three nude female figures, one of whom has her back turned toward the viewer. The scene is framed with elaborate festoons of various plants painted by Giovanni da Udine.
