Description

The photograph shows the back of a marble statue of a nude standing figure, its head missing and one arm broken off at the shoulder. A broad strap-like band runs diagonally across the back from the upper right to the lower left. The surface is pale and weathered, with some chips and cracks, and the figure is set against a plain black backdrop.
