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.
