Back winged Eros, with an arch and quiver. There is a larger marble version of this group in the Wallace collection in London. It was long attributed to Augustin Cayot ( 1667-1722 ) and is now thought to be by Filippo Della Valle ( Florence 1698 – Rome 1768 ). There is also a terra cotta version of this group in the museum of Aix en Provence and a reduced terra cotta version like ours in museum of Götteborg.
