A New Replica of the Choiseul-Gouffier Type
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2013
Extract
The central photograph shewn on p. 279 is of a fragment now in the courtyard of the Terme Museum in Rome, but unpublished as yet in the catalogue. The material is a white coarse-grained marble probably of Greek origin, and the fragment represents the right leg (Standbein) of a standing male figure, and the trunk of a tree which supports it. Against the trunk, and at the side of the leg, is a quiver with conical lid, slung by a strap over a projecting branch. The foot is missing from the centre of the ankle-bone, and the upper line of breakage runs from the hip-bone inwards and downwards to the junction of the legs. From this point to the ankle the fragment measures 67½ centimetres, so that it is approximately life-size. There is a puntello in the middle of the thigh on the outside.
