This Roman marble sculpture depicts a peplophoros, a female figure wearing the classical Greek garment known as a peplos, and dates to the 2nd century A.D., a period when Romans frequently copied celebrated Greek originals. The work exemplifies the Roman taste for Greek artistic ideals, rendered in the refined medium of marble with careful attention to drapery and form. Significant portions of the statue underwent restoration during the 17th or 18th century, a common practice among European collectors and institutions seeking to preserve or complete fragmentary ancient works.
