Did you know?
Paul Cézanne frequently revisited certain subjects, and this statuette, often identified as a Cupid by Puget, appeared in several of his still lifes from the 1890s. His meticulous study of these seemingly mundane objects laid a crucial groundwork for the development of Cubism, as he sought to analyze and represent form through geometric components and multiple viewpoints.
