Almost as good as a Hunter Biden rendering.

"Prudes and Karens even back then."

No doubt, but that isn't necessarily why the Cupid was removed. I like the painting without it better; the Cupid detracts from the girl.

The cupid could have been kept hidden, I guess....But the rest of the restoration gives it back the famous ‘light’ of a Vermeer. It’s still fantastic.
