Description

A marble statue of a standing nude female figure with its arms missing, set on a square plinth against a draped cloth backdrop. The head is turned slightly to one side and the hair is drawn back in soft waves. The surface shows dark stains and a chipped area on the right hip and side, and the figure is shown from a three-quarter view.
