Cupid alights beside Psyche, who lies in the deathlike sleep released from the jar she was told not to open, and cradles her head as she reaches up to him. Their lips almost meet in the moment before the kiss. Colonel John Campbell commissioned it in 1787, and Canova set polished skin against rough rock and soft drapery.

The jar and the arrow lie on the rock behind Psyche. A handle near her foot let the sculpture be turned on its base, so it could be seen from every side.
