The sculpture is titled The Rape of Polyxena by Pio Fedi, created in 1865. It is located in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy.
Polyxena was a Trojan princess, and she lured Achilles into an ambush where he was killed. Achilles' son, Neoptolemus, is depicted carrying Polyxena, who he had killed.

In Greek mythology, Eros is the Greek god of love and sex. His Roman counterpart is Cupid.In the earliest account, he is a primordial god, while in later accounts he is described as one of the children of Aphrodite and Ares and, with some of his siblings, was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.

cemetery of laeken, brussels.
the story of a marble worker evrard flignot who devastated by the death of his wife built a mausoleum for her. at first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. but, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.

And another one, because I'm obsessed, and because for some mysterious reason carving with shaking hands is way easier than drawing. Carved shell, moss and resin, sea glass and pearls for a necklace.
