Detail of a Roman Marble Statue of a Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2012
Title: Marble statue of a woman
Period: Imperial
Date: 1st or 2nd century CE
Culture: Roman
Medium: Marble
Dimensions: H. 65 in. (165.1 cm)
Classification: Stone Sculpture
Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson, 1903
Accession Number: 03.12.10a
Copy or adaptation of a Hellenistic statue of the 2nd century B.C.
This figure wears three layers of clothing: a sleeved chiton visible below the neck, which is tied with a looped knot at the waist; a second chiton or peplos, fastened on both shoulders; and a himation (cloak), draped over the left shoulder and the lower part of the body. The composition of the drapery with its complex design of folds visible beneath layers of semitransparent material is a characteristic feature of sculpture dated to the late Hellenistic period. This Roman copy captures much of the variety and subtlety of the original work. A portrait head was probably fitted into the hollow prepared at the neck.
