Description

A nude female statue in pale marble stands on a plinth against a dark background, her head slightly turned and her hair drawn back in wavy strands. The arms are broken off at the shoulders, and the legs end in rough breaks where they meet the plinth. A light outline runs around the edges of the figure.
