Fragmentary statue of a draped female figure missing her head, arms, and part of the drapery that originally framed her left arm. Her drapery consists of vertical pleats, held up by a thin band tied in a knot, placed just below her breasts. Her bent right leg and the vertically placed overfold of her mantle suggest a contrapposto stance. Previously identified as a Roman copy of the so-called "Trophos" of the Niobid group in Florence, she is more likely a version of a late Hellenistic type depicting a nymph or muse.
