'The Toilete de Psyche after Raphael. Enamel by Léonard Limosin'

Photograph of an enamelled rectangular plaque by Léonard Limosin, created in 1543 and now in the collection of the Louvre, Paris (MR R 281). The work depicts two Nymphs dressing Psyche's hair, a scene based on the Story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius (c.124 – c.170 AD). A third Nymph is kneeling in the foreground, to the left, resting her left hand on a tall amphora. A four-poster bed can be seen in the background. The composition derives from an engraving of c.1530 by Antonio Salamanca (1478–1562).

The plaque was photographed in an enamelled frame, which at the time of writing is still attached to the work.
