Default HELP! Who painted this?

...and more importantly, what is the name of the paining as well, if anyone knows...thanks in advance. I'd posted this before, but I was trying to figure out how to put a copy of the painting with the message and I couldn't - so I found a link with it. I hope I got it right. Thanks for your help!

Hello
This painting (if it is a painting) is in relation with an ensemble of french scenic wallpaper of the early 19th century
You will find all the informations on this work with these three links :

Use the "translate" button upper right of the main text

Yours is the seventh scrolling down, with possibility of good magnifying

With a mistake in the title : The man is not Cupid but just a fisherman

Your boss may have one of the painting made after the original artist in order to put the subject in the right dimensions, or a copy after the wallpaper, or one of the sheets of wallpaper...?
