Eros Sleeping, Bronze Geeek, 3rd - 2nd cent. Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC. This Hellenistic bronze re-creates a sleepy child's pose with remarkable naturalism. At around 20 Michelangelo made a marble Sleeping Cupid that deceived collectors and was passed off as a genuine antiquity of Rome. (Michelangelo exhibition, MET, New York City)
