Cupido mit Pfeil und Bogen is a 1618 paint by Guido Reni, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a putto, a young boy with wings, standing on a rocky outcrop. He is holding a white bird on a stick, and his wings are spread out behind him. The putto is wearing a pink cloth draped over his left shoulder, and his right arm is bent at the elbow, holding the bird. In the background, there is a blue sky with white clouds, and a body of water can be seen in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and innocence, with the putto appearing carefree and joyful. The use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes adds to the peaceful ambiance of the painting.
