Eros, the ancient Greek god of love is captured in this exquisite sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, sleeping peacefully.
Possibly, it is a religious sculpture to honour the gods of ancient Greece. One of the few scultpures survived from antiquity to honour the gods of ancient Greece this statue depicting the image of a plump baby in a relaxed pose.
The statue is the finest example of its kind, replicas of which are found in the Hellinistic and Roman periods which decorated villa garderns.
