Female Torso in White Marble.

Fragmentary white marble statue representing a female torso, characterised by great purity of line and a delicately modelled surface.

The body displays a subtle contrapposto, reflecting a careful observation of anatomy and a search for balance typical of Greco-Roman sculpture.

The smooth surface and restrained treatment lend the piece a controlled sensuality, inherited from the aesthetic canons of ancient statuary.

The absence of the arms, head, and legs enhances the expressive power of the fragment, while still allowing the grace of the original model to be perceived.

The sculpture is presented on a cubic marble base, added later to ensure stability and enhance its presentation.

18th Century, or earlier.
