Apparently Canova did two different poses on this theme which are both often given the same popular tag in English of "Cupid and Psyche".
According to La Scultura Italiana this is "Amore e Psiche giacenti" - which seems to have the name in English of "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss".
His very different pose - which is also in the Louvre - is "Amore e Psiche stanti". - In English it always seems to be called just "Cupid and Psyche"
