Museum Gipsoteca Antonio Canova
Possagno, Italy

Endymion sleeps abandoned, while the arrows fall to the ground. His dog (a cerneco of Etna) watches over him and looks lovingly waiting for him to wake up. It is a cast of plaster marble that can be seen today in Chatsworth, England, completed in 1822.
