Fragment Of A Bas-relief Drapery - 18th Or Older

Fragment of a bas-relief drapery - 18th or older

Fragment of a bas-relief in white marble, likely representing a section of drapery, possibly from a sculpted dress.
The element has soft, flowing lines, evoking careful relief work intended to suggest the movement of the fabric.

The surface patina indicates a certain antiquity, without altering the legibility of the forms. The back of the fragment suggests a separation from a larger whole; we can very well imagine that our object was a lid (sarcophagus, other?). The absence of distinctive decorative elements makes precise dating or certain stylistic attribution difficult.

This remnant testifies to the sculptor's skill and attention to detail in the representation of fabrics in stone.
