to have been derived from a statue of Artemis of the 4th cent.
B. C. A statue of this type in a temple in Anticyra is familiar
from coin pictures and was executed by Praxiteles (Paus. X
37,1· Gisela Richter: Sculpture and Sculptors of the Greeks
p. 198 and fig. 677).

p. 79.

II. without plinth 0.5(1 The head and neck, right forearm, the legs
from the knee down, and a middle fold in front of the breast are all
modern in marble. From the Despuig Collection on Mallorca, acquired
1898.
The statuette is a reduced Roman repetition of an Artemis
of the second quarter of the 4th cent., attributed to Praxi-
teles but might just as well be the work of a pupil. The most
complete replica is in Dresden and shows that the right hand
of the original was taking an arrow from the quiver, the left
holding the bow. Judging from a puntello-like remnant on
the right thigh, which may be interpreted as a serpent’s
head, our statuette has been restored as Hygieia, notwith-
standing the quiver on her back. In point of fact, one might
also credit the Roman copyist with such an illogical deviation
from the original.

the head it lacks the arms, the right leg, the left leg from the knee and
part of the back. Acquired 1895 in Rome.
The quiver-strap across the breast and the remainder of a
deer hoof by the right knee discloses that this is Artemis.
The statue type is Roman-classicistic and has features of 5th
cent. art. Similarly headless replicas are in the Terme Mu-
seum, in the garden at the Palazzo Corsini in Florence
(Arndt-Amelung 326) and in the museum at Split. We know
