AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Marble head, probably of Eros.
In good condition, with some repairs here and there.
From a French private collection.
From a Spanish gallery.
We ran an AI query to bring it alive, as you can see in pictures 2-5 and 7.
Ancient marbles were often painted in vivid colours to make them lifelike, but we made it as a living eros in the second picture to show you what might have been the inspiration of the sculptor.
