This sculpture is an adaptation of the statue of Adonis by the neoclassical Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. The original is located in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen.

Adonis was, in Greek mythology, the son of an incestuous relationship between Princess Myrrha and her father, King Cinyras. Myrrha enclosed her newborn son in the trunk of a tree, where he was found by the goddess Aphrodite. Adonis grew into a beautiful young man, and Aphrodite fell in love with him. After his tragic death in a hunting accident, Aphrodite contended for his return with Persephone, the queen of the underworld, until they agreed that Adonis would spend half the year with Aphrodite in the world of the living and the other half in Hades.

Decorating with works of art serves to bring beauty not only to our home, but also to the soul, which is enriched by their deep meaning.
