A nude girl sits in an ancient landscape, trying to push away Eros / Cupid, the god of love, who is holding an arrow. Nevertheless, she is smiling, suggesting that she might not really want to prevent him from hitting her with the arrow of love. Adolphe William Bouguereau French, about 1880 Oil on canvas 31 1/4 x 21 5/8 in. 70.PA.3 Getty Museum
