Description

A marble sculpture of a reclining figure, lying across a draped cloth or base, with the head at right and one arm and a bent leg extended. The head has short curly hair, and the surface is weathered with some pitting on the limbs. A measuring scale bar runs along the bottom edge with a number label beneath it, set against a plain grey backdrop.
