Condition

Very good condition overall with some surface dust in the crevices. A few minor chips to the edges of the terra cotta at several places. The nymph's tip of her proper right big toe missing. There is a small loss to the lower left edge of the base. The patina darker colored to the nymph's body. Very attractive group.

拍品資料及來源

Les récits de la mythologie grecque situent souvent leurs récits en Arcadie, contrée montagneuse du Péloponèse peuplée de bergers, aux traditions patriarcales. Virgile a immortalisé ce concept d'Arcadie, le pays du bonheur serein, sans entraves, dans ses Bucoliques et Géorgiques.
