- Description
The l. leg is forward, the knee projecting and pulling the chiton with it. The folds of the chiton, mostly vertical, but curving over the l. foot, range from deeply cut to quite shallow. Heavy, sweeping diagonal folds of the himation can be seen on the figure’s r. side. They do not reveal the chiton underneath.
Although the type is Hellenistic, the hard linear style indicates a Roman date, probably of the 2nd. C. A.D.
