Stereograph of 'Cupid Captive', a sculpture by Calder Marshall is a 1862 photographic by William England, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a marble sculpture showing a woman sitting with a small child. She holds the child close, one arm wrapped around them while her other hand rests on his shoulder. The woman’s drapery flows softly, and the child looks up at her with a calm expression. The photo was taken as a stereograph—two nearly identical images meant to be viewed together for a 3D effect. The text at the bottom says it’s *Cupid Captive* by Calder Marshall, but the artist who actually made the photo was William England.
