Description

A draped figure in limestone, shown from the chest down to the lower legs with the head and upper body broken away, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. Deep folds of cloth run down the body and across the torso, and a short arm stump projects at the left side. The porous surface is pitted and worn, and a small stone block sits at the lower right of the frame.
