Henry Kirke Brown's bronze sculpture, "Choosing of the Arrow," depicts a youthful figure, likely representing the Greek god Eros or Cupid, with a bow and arrow. Created in 1849, the statue embodies the Neoclassical style popular in the 19th century, emphasizing idealized forms and classical subject matter. "Choosing of the Arrow" is a testament to Brown's skill in capturing the human form and evoking the power and beauty of classical mythology. The sculpture is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
