Yeah, I'm no art expert like Hunter Biden, but my eyes prefer the Cupid free version. I can understand getting rid of it. The original also had the observer looking in at the girl through an open window, while the repainted version removed the window frame (but not the curtain), removing a somewhat voyeuristic perspective. Between the two changes, the artistic intent is significantly changed.
Is it a window frame or the picture frame??
Interesting how in the unrestored image you can see the darker shade on the wall where the cupid image shows through just a bit.
