Description

A headless marble statue of a standing female figure wears a long robe with a mantle drawn over the shoulders. Vertical folds fall over the legs and the drapery hangs in heavy pleats at the sides, with one arm broken off at the shoulder. The figure is photographed against a dark background, and a printed label is fixed below it.
