BRONZE STATUETTE
Etruscan art, first quarter of the 5th century BC.
A beautiful and rare statuette of a woman depicted standing, with her right leg slightly forward and her arms bent forwards, holding a flower in her left hand and, in her right, an attribute which is now missing. She is dressed in a long pleated chiton, forming fine, elegant ripples, whilst her shoulders are covered by a pleated drape. She wears sandals adorned with a zigzag pattern and is crowned with a radiate diadem, which holds back her long, very finely detailed hair, consisting of curls at the front and tied in a knot at the centre of her back. The face features almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and a smile characteristic of Etruscan art.
Height: 21.9 cm (excluding the tenons)
Provenance: Charles Gillet Collection (1879–1972), then passed down through the family
An Etruscan bronze kore,
