Cupid Resting
1604
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
This painting shows a boy with wings curled up asleep. His dark hair falls over his face. He holds a bow but looks peaceful instead of mischievous. Rembrandt painted this around 1650. He often drew tired, human moments—not grand myths. The soft light makes the boy feel real, not like a storybook hero. Look up Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669).
