AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Greek statuette from Tanagra in polychrome ceramic on a terrace.
Elegant and fine Boeotian figurine of a young woman dressed in a himation with broad folds that reach the ground, just revealing her feet. She holds a part of her garment with her left hand.
She stands slightly hip-shifted, with her left leg forward. Her curly hair is tied up. She is styled in a melon crest, with strands gathered into a bun.
It rests on a rectangular terrace. At the back, a square vent hole.
Beige ceramic with traces of blue polychromy. Refinished terrace.
Greek art, Hellenistic period, circa 4th-3rd century BC.
The face is expressive and finely modeled, slightly tilted. Its gaze is deep, the nose straight, the lips thin above a small chin. The folds of the clothing are perfectly depicted.
