Description: One of my favorite miniatures of all time!! The symbolism in this romantic French (of course) piece is wonderful.  The cherub, blinded by love (note blindfold over eyes), with arrows in his quiver, is being lead by faith and trust....symbolized by the dog.  Isn't it true...love makes us blind but through faith....and trust...we are lead.  Please take time to view these enlargements.
