A fine neoclassical onyx cameo set in a chiseled gold pendant. Cupid hunter.

End of 18th century - Beginning of 19th century.

cameo: 19 x 25 mm ; 8.43 gr

The erote advances to the right, turning his elegant head engraved in three-quarters. With the right hand he holds a stick where two prey (birds) are hung; with his left hand he holds the bow and carries the quiver tied to the bust. Groundline. This mythological subject is inspired from the ancient classical models, then spread in a more graceful key by the neocalssical artists and, above all, by the Wedgwood manufactory. The cameo is mounted on a finely chiseled gold pendant. Very fine condition.
