That coy fold of sheet cracks me up. Angels have no gender. Like you couldn’t just paint it out? Nooooo. Let’s draw attention to it by covering it up!!
Wow, a painting from the Cleveland Museum of Art! It’s a huge painting in real life. Check out the museum that just reopened all it’s galleries after a huge upgrade. And while you are at it, check out the Rock Hall also.
Enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.Cupid and Psyche (link shows story’s Wikipedia page) is shown, with a different coloration image, and described, by its current-location page.Another different coloration enlarged image, along with a description, can be found here. Another different coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, and another can be found here.Yet another different coloration image can be found here; but there are many different coloration or detail images of it available online. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Fifth, of the 7 works, by this artist/teacher, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
Regarding management of wings, try Nalini Singh’s Guildhunter novels. There are many examples of how the Archangels manage things from clothing, bathing, and lying down. The series also include vampires, and other creatures that go bump in the night.

that is one very strange painting, I wonder why he saved it, or did someone dig it out of the trash bin?

Thanks for missing the point, y’all. It was, that by hiding the genitals in that fashion, the artist drew attention to them. So much for modesty.
