About this work
A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. A naked young woman sitting with her arms outstretched, pushing a winged boy. He is Eros or Cupid, the god of love, holding an arrow to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman tries to defend herself, but she smiles and struggles unconvincingly against the mischievous little god.
