What the image shows
A statue of two figures embracing on a pedestal.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
From the Getty Museum record
Photograph of a statue of Cupid and Psyche. The statue depicts the couple as mostly nude figures, with a cloth tied around Psyche's waist, covering her legs. They are in an embrace and close to a kiss, with Cupid's left hand holding Psyche's head and his right hand caressing her face.
