Description from the seller
Marble powder sculpture depicting the head of Eros.
The Hellenistic work was discovered in 1772 in Centocelle (Rome), from which it takes its name; it is also known as the Eros of Centocelle.
It was purchased by Pope Clement XIV and subsequently displayed in the Hall of Busts and Statues at the Vatican Museums, where it is still housed today.
In 1800, for a brief period, the Eros of Centocelle was also displayed at the Louvre after Napoleon Bonaparte acquired it from Pope Pius VI as part of the Treaty of Tolentino.
