Cupid's Pastime is a notable painting by the British artist John Byam Liston Shaw, commonly known as Byam Shaw. Born in 1872, Shaw was a prominent figure in the late Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic movements, known for his intricate and richly detailed works that often drew upon literary and historical themes. "Cupid's Pastime," created in 1896, exemplifies Shaw's meticulous technique and his fascination with mythological subjects.

The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene, centered around the classical figure of Cupid, the Roman god of love. Shaw's interpretation of Cupid is both delicate and evocative, capturing the youthful deity in a moment of playful repose. The background is lush and verdant, filled with an abundance of flora that adds to the romantic and dreamlike quality of the scene. Shaw's use of color is particularly striking, with a palette that enhances the ethereal atmosphere of the painting.

"Cupid's Pastime" reflects Shaw's deep appreciation for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ideals, particularly their emphasis on beauty, nature, and detailed realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with a harmonious interplay between the figure of Cupid and the surrounding environment. Shaw's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of textures, from the softness of Cupid's wings to the delicate petals of the flowers.

The painting was well-received in its time and continues to be admired for its technical excellence and aesthetic charm. It is a testament to Shaw's skill as an artist and his ability to convey complex themes through visual art. "Cupid's Pastime" remains an important work within Shaw's oeuvre and a fine example of late 19th-century British painting.
