Kneeling beside her, he seems ready to entwine her, his hands nearly going carressing her breasts. From behind, it appears that the woman is really nude, as we can see her buttocks. From before, it's just a drapery which hides her fanny. The man is dressed of an antic drapery. Near them, Eros, that we recognize with his small wings, is caressing the house dog, symbol of devotion. The subject is presented on a tripod socle of ivory and ebony. It has overall a round shape, but with some nice moldings (fluted groove, and other ovolo mouldings). Good condition.
