"The Rape of Proserpina" by Bernini, at the Borghese Gallery in Rome (not my photo). The god Pluto has caught Proserpina and is triumphantly taking her back to the underworld with him. The sculpture is probably most famous for the virtuosity of the carving: where Pluto grasps Proserpina, you can see his fingers digging into her flesh (this image).
