A terra-cotta figure of a youthful, curly-haired Eros, seated on a stump with proper left leg resting on proper right knee, holding a heart in his hand, with bow resting in the crook of his arm, and a quiver with arrows slung over his shoulder, on a circular base with a birdbath molded as a hollowed stump with scattered leaves; the columnar pedestal ornamented with draped swags, American, ca. 1930.

Eros’ pose is reminiscent of, and likely inspired by, the Greco-Roman figure, “Lo Spinario”, or “Boy with Thorn”.
