Ca. 200 AD.A marble figure of a male with a missing head standing in contrapposto with his right hip slightly lifted, suggesting forward movement as his weight shifts to his left leg. He wears a toga with countless folds of fabric clinging to his body. He wears sandals and in his left hand, he holds a scroll. The technical skill of this sculptor was paramount. Indeed, the artist who created this piece clearly possessed the expertise required to turn stone into fabric and flesh. Such calculated poses were inspired by the works of Polykleitos and became the model to which sculptors aspired in Graeco-Roman as well as later Western European art. Size: L:590mm / W:260mm ; 18.9kgProvenance: Ex French Collection, Paris Gallery, previously with Colasanti Auction house, Paris.
