    Prof. Dr. Ernst Berger (1928-2006), Basel, acquired between 1961-1993. with Jean-David Cahn, Basel, 2009. On loan to the Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig, Basel, 1993-2009. Accompanied by an academic report by Professor Neritan Ceka. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.12213-222441.

    Despite the damage, the statue appears to be a high quality piece of work by a virtuoso sculptor. The sparing use of strong movements and their diagonal contrast in the hand and foot placement suggests an early Hellenistic date for this type of sculpture, known from a few examples from Attica and the islands. Similar representations of women wearing the chiton and himation during the Hellenistic period are seen in the Tanagra type terracottas of the 4th century BC.

    with Sotheby's, New York, 21 November 1985, no.60. Ex private New York collection. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.11794-206497.

    The statuette assumes the position of the 'attacking Hercules', which characterises numerous Etruscan statues of the hero of the classical era, however, with a less aggressive stance. The type was probably an Etruscan creation of the 5th century B.C., based on Greek models, which lasted until the end of the Hellenistic period, when Etruria was by then incorporated into the Roman world. This statuette, despite certain anatomical stylisation and an impersonal characterisation of the face, is the result of a good artistic and technical quality. The comparison of the artwork with the group identified as ‘Trieste’ from Colonna shows that this specimen is more recent and should be dated to the end of the Hellenistic Age. These small statuettes were probably offered ex-voto by the Romano-Etruscan aristocracy of the period.
