The picture shows a classical painting with a scene depicting five putti or cupids - winged child figures often associated with love and beauty. These figures are depicted in an idyllic garden, full of flowers and with a peaceful atmosphere. Two of the figures are touching and interacting with each other, while the other three are engaged in their own activities - one is writing, one is reading a leaf, and the last is sitting and observing the scene.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). English painter known for his paintings of female figures from classical mythology. Among his most famous paintings is Ophelia shortly before her death braiding flowers in her hair (although the painting is from 1888, it was lost for a long time until found again). Waterhouse had planned to paint a whole series of paintings with the motif of Ophelia, but serious illness - cancer - did not allow him to finish his work. His canvas motif, The Temptation of Miranda, is also worth mentioning. A classical motif is also his Narcis, viewing his reflection in the water.
