Description see Alcock photocopy or Henig and Paddock (sheet); somewhat naove but attractive (Toynbee 1964) The left foot is very flat, the calves quite chunky. The proportions of the right arm are wrong (too small). Nice details on clothing and hair, face well-depicted, however slightly less attention has been paid to the rear which appears rather flat and without the movement of the front. A nice piece though.
