Psyche Abandoned is a c.1795 painting by Jacques-Louis David, and is now in a private collection. It shows Psyche abandoned by Cupid as a crouching female nude in profile against a blue sky and a hill in the background. Vertical in format, it represents David's early style and shows his approach to the female nude to be different from the academic canons.
Painting by Jacques-Louis David
"A painted study of Psyche" appears on three of David's lists of his own work as a pendant to The Vestal Virgin.[1] Long thought lost, it was rediscovered in 1991[2] and exhibited in the 2010 Louvre exhibition L’Antiquité rêvée.[3]
