Sorry to be so vague about this, but I overheard someone speaking about a sculpture at the MET and I loved the story and wanted to know what sculpture it was exactly. The sculpture is either Greek, Roman or early European and it was a man that got his lover taken away. And he made a deal with the devil and had to convince everyone about something and the devil agreed and said if you pass this door without looking back, you can have her. At the last second he looks back right before he passes the door. The sculpture is apparently of the man looking back as he's pushing open the door. The man I overhead ended with "He was able to convince the entire world but himself."
Thank you in advance
