An Important Terracotta Bust Of Athena, Finished With A Green Patina To Imitate Bronze.
The sculpture draws on the classical iconography of the goddess Athena, taking its inspiration from the famous model known as the “Giustiniani Athena,” housed in the Vatican Museums and derived from a Greek bronze original dating from the late 5th century B.C.
