"L'Amour et Psyché, enfants" (Cupid and Psyche as Children) is an 1890 painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. This work is one of Bouguereau's many interpretations of classical subjects, in this case drawn from the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche. The painting depicts the young god of love, Cupid, in an intimate embrace with Psyche, who is often represented as the personification of the human soul in classical mythology. Bouguereau's portrayal of the figures as children is a departure from the traditional narrative in which they are adults, and it imbues the scene with a sense of innocence and playful affection rather than the often more sensual and complex adult relationship depicted in other artistic interpretations.

Bouguereau was renowned for his virtuosic technique and the idealized beauty of his figures, and "L'Amour et Psyché, enfants" is no exception. The painting is characterized by its smooth brushwork, delicate color palette, and the almost porcelain-like skin of the figures. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures entwined in a natural, yet elegant arrangement that draws the viewer's eye to their tender interaction.

As a prominent member of the French Academy, Bouguereau's work was widely celebrated in his time for its adherence to classical ideals and its technical perfection. However, his popularity waned with the rise of modernist movements that rejected the academic style. Despite this, Bouguereau's paintings have experienced a resurgence in appreciation in recent decades, and "L'Amour et Psyché, enfants" remains a beloved example of his mastery of form and the neoclassical aesthetic.

The painting is held in a private collection, but it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its representation of mythological themes and its embodiment of 19th-century academic art. Bouguereau's "L'Amour et Psyché, enfants" is often cited in discussions of his work and the broader context of French academic painting at the end of the 19th century.
