First and for all, I must at least introduce who is Cupid. Based on Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of erotic love and beauty. *Ahem, yes erotic god... He also known as Amor, in Latin. Cupid is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine's Day.
Cupid or also known in his Greek name, Eros was the son of Venus (Aphrodite) and Mars (Ares). He was often depicted with wings, a bow, and a quiver of arrows. When Venus got jealous of the princess Psyche, who was so loved by her subjects that they forgot to worship Venus, she ordered Cupid to make her fall in love with the ugliest and poorest man in the world. However, when Cupid saw Psyche, he was so overcome with her unnatural beauty that he dropped an arrow on his foot, and fell in love with her himself.

However, when Cupid saw Psyche, he was so overcome with her unnatural beauty that he dropped an arrow on his foot, and fell in love with her himself.
Following that, Cupid visited Psyche every night in his invisible form and told her not to try to see him. When Psyche incited by her two older sisters who told her Cupid was a monster, she tried to look at him and angered Cupid. After he left, she looked all over the world for him until the leader of the gods, Jupiter, gave Psyche the gift of immortality so that she could be with him. Together they had a daughter, Voluptas (pleasure).
Based on the description, Cupid seems to be a cute little kid with white wings, a quiver of love arrows and a bow. Just like the picture shown above. What curious me the most, how would he be look like after 20-30 years. When he became a husband, a father, and also addicted to his daily routine. Just like any middle-age men, in love with drinking beer, watching football and eating junk food but yet doing his job in match-making.
Perhaps, it may be some uncle looking with tummy, smoking cigar and say... 'Heelooo, looking for lovvee?'
