The young teenager with braided hair is dressed in a knotted chiton who slipped from her left shoulder thus revealing her breast. She is seated, the knees folded under the body and rests on her arm.
His left hand is placed on two bones, while the one on the right launches the other two. The movement of the gesture is translated by the hand still open, as if it had just been carried out.
Despite her slightly leaning head, the girl does not watch the game, lost in her thoughts.
Historical testimony of Roman us and customs, this bronze will charm you with its grace and its meticulous details.
