Giovanni Dupré, “Saffo abbandonata” (𝟣𝟪𝟨𝟣)
“Mirabile è quel guardo della Saffo; quand'uno l'ha veduto una volta, e gli si ficca nell'immaginazione e non si può dimenticare.” — Augusto Conti Eng · “Admirable is that look of Sappho's; when you’ve seen it once, it sticks in your imagination and cannot be forgotten.”

Perhaps one of the most incredible sculptures in the world. It was created by an unknown French sculptor in the 19th century. It's kept in India's Salar Jung Museum.
The sculpture is known under the name "Double statue of Mephistopheles and Marguerite". The fact is that on one side of the statue is a male figure, and on the other - a female figure. Behind the sculpture there is a large mirror, so that you can see both figures and appreciate the skill of the author of this unusual creation. The sculpture is created from a single piece of the most ancient sycamore tree.

— Valérie Huet, Napoleon I: A New Augustus?
The nude statue of Napoleon in question:
