Description
This picture isn't how I wanted to edit it...but my stupid image-repair shit doesn't work and I gave up. Lala..This is at the Louvre. I forget what this statue is called. Eros and ....someone. And then there's the random lady, who is the reason I posted this picture.
Called "Musetta's Waltz" after the theme in La Bohème, the best opera ever.

I think the woman in the statue is Psyche...forgive my spelling But I remember reading somewhere about how Eros had fallen in love with Psyche and since his mother, Aphrodite was mad/jealous(?) she made Psyche complete a number of tasks, one of them being to get a box from the wife of Hades, her name slips my mind. She was told not to open the box, but since she did she got a whisp of 'hell' air that almost killed her, luckily Eros was able to save her. I'm pretty sure that's how the story goes but I'm human and make mistakes so if I'm wrong I'm very sorry
Great photograph, I love the light and the side of the statue from where you took the picture.

That sounds right - I think it IS Psyche...I'm really terrible at remembering mythical names, so thank you!!
