A GREEK MARBLE TORSO OF ARTEMIS

HELLENISTIC PERIOD, CIRCA 1ST CENTURY B.C.
Superbly sculpted, the goddess depicted wearing a chiton together with a himation pinned on her left shoulder, both clinging diaphanous garments revealing her body beneath, the form further enhanced by a baldric worn diagonally over her right shoulder and between her breasts, standing with her weight on her right leg, the left projecting forward, red pigment unusually well preserved along the himation
