More about this artwork

Welcome to our latest exhibition highlight, the charming and whimsical artwork titled "Tipsy Cupid" by Peter Newell. This delightful piece, rendered in subdued shades, captures a playful and slightly mischievous scene featuring the mythological figure of Cupid.In the artwork, Cupid is depicted in a joyously tipsy state, with his little body unsteadily leaning against a large, heart-shaped vessel. The heart, often symbolic of love and emotion, here perhaps doubles as a playful allusion to a container of wine, suggesting the source of Cupid’s mirth. His facial expression is full of glee and a harmless devilry, which is brought to life by Newell’s skilled and delicate line work.Accompanying Cupid on the floor are his bow and arrows, traditionally used by him to instigate love and affection between humans. However, laid aside and temporarily forgotten, these tools highlight the innocence and carefree moments even a divine being might seek.Peter Newell’s "Tipsy Cupid" invites viewers to a light-hearted interaction with an otherwise powerful mythical figure, presenting a moment of jovial respite from his significant duties.
