Cupid's Sleep, A.M. RAYNOLT ca. 1925-1930

Very large oil on canvas depicting “The Sisters of Psyche: The Result of Their Advice,” inscribed in the lower right corner, with the signature “RAYNOLT.” Circa 1930.

A landscape painter, illustrator, and set designer, he was a student of Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens.
A member of the Society of French Artists since 1905, he was awarded medals in 1897 and 1902

Psyche’s two sisters advised her to take advantage of Cupid’s sleep to discover his face, even though he had strictly forbidden her from seeing his true appearance. A drop of burning oil will awaken Cupid, who, enraged, will vanish forever.
