Condivi calls the second statue a Cupid,( 72) but Springer points out( 73) that Ulisse Aldovrandi, who saw the statue in Messer Gallo's house at Rome, talks of an Apollo quite naked, with a quiver at his side and an urn at his feet.

The work, Cupid or Apollo, at Kensington, is not so finely finished as the other statues of this first Roman period; the head is like a copy of the head of the David, the division between the pectoral muscles is weak, and their attachments to the breast-bone are round, regular, and without distinction, very different from either the naturalism of the Bacchus, the delicate truth of the Pieta, or the dignified abstraction of the David, done very shortly afterwards.

This work at Kensington was discovered some fifty years ago in the cellars of the Gualfonda (Rucellai) Gardens by Professor Miliarini and the sculptor Santarelli.

The left arm was broken, the right hand damaged, and the hair unfinished, as may be seen to-day; Santarelli restored the arm.

The statue is like the work of a poor imitator.
