This compositional study by Evelyn De Morgan for her oil painting of the same subject is a small pencil sketch is vigorously drawn with bold outlines. Whilst the concept for the painting did not change, from initial sketch to final execution in oil elements it did, in particular the form of Cupid’s wings and the added embellishment of the seashells which appear in the final work. Cupid’s figure is also in an altered pose, his bended knee and extended neck appears much more beseeching than the rather aloof figure that appears in Evelyn’s final painting.
