Marble statue of Narcissus, from Gaeta (Italy), Roman copy of the 4th century CE. The statue type of the standing naked boy leaning with his left arm on a pillar is interpreted as the beautiful youth Narcissus who sees his own reflection in the water and falls in love with that image. (Altes Museum Berlin)
