"A River God, a Nymph, and Cupid Drawing His Bow" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, commonly known as Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson. Created during the late 18th or early 19th century, this work exemplifies Girodet's skill in blending classical themes with a romantic sensibility that would come to characterize his later works. The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene drawn from classical mythology, featuring a river god, often represented as a powerful yet benevolent figure embodying the natural force of a river, reclining alongside a nymph, a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden. The inclusion of Cupid, the Roman god of love, poised to draw his bow, introduces a narrative of love and desire, suggesting an imminent romantic encounter or the stirring of affection between the figures.

Girodet was a student of the famed Jacques-Louis David, and his early works are marked by the clear lines and formality typical of neoclassicism. However, Girodet's oeuvre is also noted for its early romantic elements, such as an emphasis on emotion and the exotic, which can be seen in the atmospheric quality and the tender interaction between the characters in this painting. "A River God, a Nymph, and Cupid Drawing His Bow" reflects the transitional nature of Girodet's style and the broader shift in European art from the neoclassical to the romantic.

The painting is significant for its artistic merits and for its place within the context of Girodet's body of work and the broader history of European art. It showcases the artist's ability to infuse classical subject matter with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth, thus bridging two important artistic movements of the time. While the exact date of creation, current location, and provenance of the painting may not be well-documented, the work remains an important example of Girodet's contribution to French painting at the turn of the 19th century.
