Statua di donna in toga

Hubert Robert, probabilmente circa 1754/1765

The sculpture features a standing female figure draped in a long garment that covers most of her body, leaving her head and feet visible. The figure's head is slightly tilted, and her short hair is styled close to her head. She holds a portion of her clothing with one hand, creating an appearance of gentle motion in the fabric. The sculpture seems stylized, with simplified and smooth contours of the human form indicated. The drawing is monochrome, suggesting that the sculpture is likely a light-colored or marble material. The relative size and posture of the sculpture imply it stands at a similar height to humans but is depicted without intricate details, focusing instead on capturing the overall form and grace of the subject.
