Description
Found in the garden of the Hadrian's Villa, the Roman statue depicts a female dancing and it is supposed to be the poetess Praxilla, probably holding a musical instrument in her hands at the same time. Parts of the sculptured body are being revealed in the swaying of her feminine movements. It is part of a collection of which only eight pieces have survived, and this is known by the name of Berliner Dancer.
