The base, which has remained raw in its texture, contrasts with the finesse of the polished body.
Unfortunately, this marble is not signed, but was surely sculpted by a seasoned artist: it demonstrates here a great refinement in the sculpture of expressions but also a great mastery of his technique in the volume (sculpture of a single block).
Good general condition, patina and wear of time, some chips and old restorations (toes glued back on)
