Standing Robed Figure

Standing Robed Figure

Greek

Standing robed figure with drapery over his left shoulder and left arm which covers the lower half of his body. The figure stands in a contrapposto position with his right knee bent. The back is unfinished. Some of the features of the face (eyes, nose, mouth) are well-defined. However, the hair and ears are not as well-defined. The right arm and the left hand are missing. There are no repairs and no restoration. There are two blind cracks: one extends from the right armpit to a horizontal fold in the drapery; the other runs across and down the top of the thigh.
