Lunette Sketch of Cupids Supporting an Escutcheon of the Prince of Wales for a Wall Decoration is a 1804 unspecified by Thomas Stothard, a Neoclassicism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In the painting, a group of cupids are depicted supporting an escutcheon, which features the emblem of the Prince of Wales. The cupids are shown in various poses, with some holding the escutcheon and others looking on. The background of the painting is not clearly visible, but it appears to be a simple, muted color. The painting is a lunette sketch, which suggests that it was intended to be a decorative element in a larger work of art. The use of cupids and an escutcheon is consistent with the Rococo style, which was popular in the 18th century. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Thomas Stothard (17 August 1755 – 27 April 1834) was a British painter, illustrator and engraver.
