Ancient Greek Terracotta HUGE standing winged figure, 27,5 cm -Spanish Export Licence - Figure
A beautifully moulded hollow terracotta votive figure in draped drapery, depicting a young woman or a hermafrodite Eros standing with a pair of wings.
At the end of the 4th century BC a style of clay modelling developed in the city of the same name, known as the 'Tanagra style'.
In these figures the classical composition of the body disappears. One leg is placed slightly to the side, either backwards or forwards. The arms no longer hang rigidly next to the body, as in the archaic or classical period, but lie on the belly, chest or back, or rest on the hip.
Provenance: Acquired at Belgian auction house, February 2023
*Restored wing
