1ST-3RD CENTURY A.D.
9 in. (7.95 kg, 23 cm wide).
The upper body draped with an upper part of an exomis, twisted on the shoulder and falling softly on the back; the right breast still visible, as well as the attachment portion of the neck.
PROVENANCE:
Acquired by the current owner in Munich, Germany, 1990s.
English private collection.
LITERATURE:
Cf. Reinach, S., Repertoire de la statuarie Grecque et Romaine, Paris, 1930, figs. pp.319, 325 (Artemis and Amazons).
FOOTNOTES:
The way in which the exomis is twisted on the left shoulder and the presence of the exposed right breast could indicate that the original statue was that of an Amazon, with particular reference to the Amazon from the Albertoni collection in Rome, which has now disappeared.
