About this 3D model

The subject of this piece is a complex allegory, described by the author as such: "Stretched out upon the plan of the world is Cupid, God of generation, sustaining and watching over the symbolic genius of dissolute wealth without virtue, who snores in his sleep, ... dreaming of past diversions in pleasure. Left to himself, the Genius of ambitious rectitude in work sleeps the agitated sleep of misfortune and glory, ... his head extending beyond the periphery of the world."
