"Probably modeled about 1881; this marble, commissioned in 1906, was finished in 1907. Signed: Rodin"
"First titled 'Zephyr and Earth' and later exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1897 as 'Cupid and Psyche' -- both titles were calculated to lend respectability to the eroticism of the subject -- this version displays the sensuous, veiled quality of carving that is associated with the marbles of Rodin's later career."
