This composition is usually called Fugit Amor (or Furgitive Love) but is also known by other names, including: The Sphinx, Dream, Chimera, Night, Dawn, and The Arrival. The subject is the fleeting love that slips from one's grasp like quicksilver, thus representing a tormenting lack of fulfillment. Despite the streamlined quality of the work, it is often associated with the early genesis of Rodin's Gates of Hell. In the Gates, Fugitive Love appears in the lower corner of the right panel and it is also placed prominently in the center of the right panel, appearing to lunge forward into the viewer's space. The female figure is seen from behind as she grasps her head in anguish. Four versions of Fugitive Love are known to exist, as well as variants in plaster and marble.
