The l. leg is slightly advanced, the knee pulling the drapery forward. The himation stops just below the knees. The drapery is gathered over the l. arm and falls in rich folds at her l. side, and there is also a long vertical fold at her r. side. Across the front, arched folds delineate her stomach. The back is only summarily carved with two or three shallow, looped folds.

Typical of the “Grosse Herculanerin” type, there is a strong diagonal fold from r. hip to l. knee; another diagonal fold, the end of which can be seen on our statue, fell from the r. arm which lay on her chest, to the l. wrist.

Some drilling is used, but not extensively. The carving is fine, and allows us to see the curvature of the body. This is probably a late Hellenistic example, although the style is closely copied in Roman times, and this piece might be as late as the 2nd C. A.D.

Marble.

Preserved from above the waist to below the knees. A dowel hole is at the break of the l. arm, just where it would have projected from the drapery. Minor chipping of drapery.
