''Cupid and Psyche as Children'' (French: ''L'Amour et Psyche, enfants'') is an oil {{painting|s}} by French artist Creator/WilliamAdolpheBouguereau in 1890. It is currently in a private collection. It was displayed in the Salon of Paris in 1890, the year Bouguereau was President of the Société des Artistes Français. The painting features Greek mythological figures Cupid and Psyché, sharing an embrace and kiss. Bouguereau was a Classical-style painter in the Neoclassical era of art. The painting is characterized by the frothy background the figures delicately stand on. It depicts the beginning of the forbidden romance of Cupid and Psyche, a popular subject at the time of execution.

This painting was not the first, nor the last depiction of both characters by Bouguereau, other paintings being ''Psyche'', ''Psyche and Cupid'' and ''Art/TheRaptureOfPsyche''.

----
!!''Cupid and Psyche as Children'' provides examples of:

* ButterflyOfTransformation: Psyche's wings are moth-like in appearance, representing how she metaphorphized from a mortal to a goddess.
* FirstKiss: The painting has been mistakenly called ''The First Kiss'', implying that this is what it depicts. It is even used as the page-image for the trope itself.
* FluffyCloudHeaven: Both characters are in the Heavens together and all we can see are a relaxing landscape of white clouds.
* OurNudityIsDifferent: Indicative of putti art (and artistic depictions of Myth/ClassicalMythology in general), all characters involved are completely naked.
* PuppyLove: As both are characterized as [[{{Putto}} putti]], the relationship between the two characters are portrayed as this.
* WingedHumanoid: Cupid is portrayed with white angel wings and Psyche has moth wings.
