Sale - Unknown Artist: Young Girl with Doves

ENLARGE

The marble relief on which this plaque is based was found on the Greek island of Paros in 1775 and dates back to the 5th century B.C. The gentle gravity of the child's expression is sweetly depicted in this farewell to her pet doves. Her peplos is unbelted and falls open at the side, while the folds of her drapery clearly reveal her stance. Many of the most skillful Greek stone carvers came from islands in the Aegan Sea, such as Paros, where marble was plentiful. Our reproduction captures the emotion and innocence of the original in the Museum's collection.

Weatherproofed polymer, hand patinated; with a notch in the back for hanging. For indoor and outdoor use. Height 32 in., width 14 1/2 in., depth 3 1/2 in.

Original price $450
