This Victorian Cupid

By C.E. Ryan

Cabinet card. Portland. Private Collection.

There are some pictures that attract me like a moth to a flame, and this is one of them.

This young man’s face and expression remind me of cherubs in classical paintings of the same period. He also reminds me of a very young Robert Frost.
