Description

A headless draped statue in pale stone stands on a white rectangular plinth against a black background. A broad band is tied around the waist, and heavy folds of cloth fall over the hips and legs, with the shoulders and lower left side broken and rough. A scale bar lies below the plinth, and handwritten notes appear at the top left of the mounted print.
