Fragment of a Kouros in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Fragment of a Kouros in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Young Man
Greek, probably from Chios, about 520 BC
Marble
Kouros

Inventory # 83.AA.216

The flat, schematic folds of the tunic and cloak worn by this kouros (young man) are typical of sculpture made on the island of Chios in the 500s BC. Chios was one of the many Greek settlements established along the coast of Ionia (present-day western Turkey). Although Greek statues of kouroi were usually nude, in Ionia they were frequently clothed.
