Boy in a Toga (without a head)

XVII century. White marble.
Room 031

The folds of the toga are meticulously carved in this copy of a classical sculpture, while the style of the clothing is characteristic of the first century AD. Very similar sculptures are to be found in Paris (Louvre, Boy in a Toga from Velleia) and Rome (Museo delle Terme and Musei Vaticani). This figure may have been made as the support for an antique head.
