Larger Than Life-Size Greek Marble Draped Torso. Hellenistic Period, circa 4th-1st century B.C. Standing figure tightly wrapped in a himation with both hands clenching the fabric draped close to the body. For the type see Lewerentz, A., ‘Stehende männliche Gewandstatuen im Hellenismus‘, in Antiquitates Archäologische Forschungsergebnisse, Band 5, Hamburg, 1993, pp.18ff. and pp.241ff., nos.I, 1; I, 3; I, 4; I, 9; pls.1-8; Stewart, A., Hellenistic freestanding sculpture from the Athenian Agora, part. 1, Hesperia, 81, 2012, p.267-342. On loan to the Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig, Basel, 1993-2009. Over 500 kg, 152 cm high (59 3/4 in.). Despite the damage, the statue proves itself to be a high quality of work by a virtuoso sculptor. The sparing use of strong movements and their diagonal contrast in the hand-foot ratio speaks for an early period of this type of sculpture, known from few examples from Attica and islands. Similar treatment of the representation of women with chiton and himation during the Hellenistic period are typical mainly for the Tanagra type terracottas of the 4th century BC.
