Info A naked young woman sitting with her arms outstretched, pushing a winged boy. He is Eros or Cupid, the god of love, holding an arrow to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman tries to defend herself, but she smiles and struggles unconvincingly against the mischievous little god. Yann (talk) 17:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Another nice allegory. This seems the best reproduction we have. Very high resolution. -- Yann (talk) 02:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Looks good to me. I consider the translation wrong, but I won't change it if there are any objections: "Jeune fille" should be "Girl", not "Young girl". A young girl to me is 6, 7, maybe 8. This is a girl or young woman, but not a very young girl. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's a literal translation, but she wouldn't be called a "Jeune fille" in French either... Regards, Yann (talk) 10:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was taught that "jeune fille" means "girl" and that it's really no different from "fille". I don't think literal translations that disregard connotation are a good practice. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, "fille" means "girl", and "jeune fille" means "young girl". The title is not really a good description of the painting, but if it is the artist's title, what can we do? Regards, Yann (talk) 11:56, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google translate confirms what Ikan says -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:41, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I renamed the file. Yann (talk) 17:19, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I don't really see the necessity for translating the the original title in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we have a rule that says that file names must be in English. And even for the Category I'd argue that the original title would be much more useful – after all, we don't translede Category:Au clair de la lune to "By the Light of the Moon" … --El Grafo (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Big fan of Bouguereau's work. This one seems easily good enough for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 13:08, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - to me it does not look sharp in full size. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 14:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is 118.27 Megapixels, so... Yann (talk) 17:19, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still - her her chest and nipples is not sharp in full size! ( or is it the painting - I don't think so). --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
