Description

A marble statue seen from behind, showing a nude figure with its head turned and bowed and its hair gathered in a coiled bun at the back. The arms are broken off at the shoulders, and the figure stands on a rectangular plinth with white plaster or filler around its base. Joins and cracks are visible at the neck, waist and base against a plain grey drape.
