I guess i will never be a good art interpreter. I don't see anything in the pic that has to do with Cupid. All i see is a woman with a cell phone at her ear unlocking the door.

A cell phone?

A cell phone?

Yep, a cell phone. I can't tell you how many times i have seen that stance where a person has a phone wedged between their shoulder and ear and is attempting to open a door or multi task in general. LOL i guess that's the great thing about art. We get to interpret the art any way we want and whatever the artists intentions don't matter. Great art can withstand the test of time, or so i have heard.

Her Head is oddly Turned Like she is Holding a Phone.
perhaps the artist just screwed up on positioning her head
the wrong direction.



That is Definitely Cupid looking Out
& his Bow & Quiver on the Step.
perhaps her head would be that way if she were looking at him.

not sure if it represents her avoiding him or him avoiding her.

I'm starting to think the Artist had no real purpose in mind.

It's Psyche, the roman goddess of the soul...wife of Eros, the Roman cupid
