MANNER OF FRANCOIS DUQUESNOY, 18TH CENTURY

Although the composition of this Sleeping Cupid is usually given to the 17th century sculptor François Duquesnoy, examples have also been attributed to Giovacchino Fortini (1670-1736), and there is an example in the Sinebrychoff Museum, Helsinki, which is attributed to the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
