There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble.

The artist dedicated 7 years of his life to sculpt.

It's called Il Disinganno or "The Release from Deception", by Italian sculptor Francesco Queirolo in 1759.

Possibly the greatest test of patience in the history of art - and not a single wrong step made in the marble.
