The median of 9 city blocks on Av. Álvaro Obregón in Roma Norte is replete with approximately 12 sculptures, mostly set in fountains.

 

This is one of 4 of them - Fuente de Mercurio & Argos by Felipe Sojo ((1833 - 1869)).

 

Mercury Lulling Argos to Sleep.

 

Classic Mexican sculpture from the 19th century. The sculptor is Felipe Sojo. The original sculpture is in the San Carlos museum in Mexico City.

 

1976, more than 10 works were placed on Av. Ávaro Obregón to promote the sense of strolling and art but today they are exposed to being damaged or stolen for the sale of their foundry material.
