Acquired in 1841 by E. Gerhard in Rome (Italy)
Marble, Roman, after an original from around 475 - 450 BC
This Roman copy goes back to the Greek bronze statue of a girl dressed in a knee-length, thin garment (chiton). The dancer stood on the tip of her toes, as is indicated by the tensed-up muscles of the upper thighs and by her back. The right arm is extended for better balance, similar to dancing hetaerae at the symposium.
