Cupid, floating on a cloud, is seated on a basket of flowers; representing the season spring. Stipple engraving by P.W. Tomkins, 1797, after W. Hamilton.

Among other attributes of Cupid and spring are a shepherd's crook and pipe, a tambourine, the torch burning the fire of love, and a pair of cooing doves. Cupid wears a quiver of arrows over his shoulder. They represent the poem 'Spring' (1726), in 'The seasons' by James Thomson
