The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden has a bronze sculpture. The Houston Press called the work "curious, since the ankles are crossed as they might be when a person is relaxing, but the tilted angle of the torso is precarious and the muscular arms are very active indeed. It is enigmatic and wonderful."[3] It is one of three Rodin sculptures in the garden; the other two are Cybele (1890/1904) and The Walking Man (1877–1878).[3] Spirit of Eternal Repose is on long-term loan from Iris Cantor and the Cantor Foundation on behalf of B. Gerald Cantor.[2]
