Description

A marble sculpture of a naked child lying on its side, head resting on one arm and one leg bent over the other, with short curled hair and closed eyes. The child lies on a rounded base with carved drapery and folds, and a carved fragment projects at the right end. The sculpture stands on a plain surface beside a measuring scale and a number label.
