Le Chant d'Amour - Three Studies of Cupid1863 – 1864 Accession number: 1904P225 Pencil and red chalk on cream-toned, wove paper. Width: 390 mm Height: 242 mm InformationA study for the figure of Love or Cupid for the first of Burne-Jones's three versions of 'Chant d'Amour' (watercolour and gouache, 1865, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; gouache, 1866, Private Collection; oil on canvas, 1868-77, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). In the finished watercolour, the figure of Love has changed from this early idea of a young female figure to a youthful androgynous figure, hidden behind a blindfold.
