Item Details
Description
Ca. 1st-2nd Century AD. A fragmentary Roman marble statue, depicting the buttocks and legs of a male youth. Remaining details of the sculpture include long, muscular thighs, one of which has the knee still visible, the genitals and the buttocks. The posture of both legs suggests that the original figure would have been moving or walking. The nudity points to an athletic or even divine context for the figure. For a similar example, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 13.229.1. Size: 240mm x 210mm; Weight: 7.75kg Provenance: Property of a London gentleman; Ex. French collection, Paris, Parisian Gallery, 1970-90. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
