Estatueta de uma dançarina com véu

3rd–2nd century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 163
O movimento complexo desta dançarina apenas se expressa através da interação de seu corpo com várias camadas de roupa. A figura usa um manto leve, que se gruda ao corpo graças à tensão aplicada pelo braço direito, mão esquerda e perna direita. Sob o manto, uma túnica larga cai em dobras até arrastar-se no chão. O rosto está coberto por um finíssimo véu transparente. O pé direito, calçado com um chinelo preso por cordões, dá um passo à frente. Esta dançarina foi identificada como uma das artistas profissionais que, combinando a mímica com a dança, trouxe fama à cosmopolita cidade de Alexandria.
