the present specimen (see above) and was formerly in the
Walmoden Collection at Hanover, now in the Provincial Museum
at HanOver (Clarac, IV., pi. 754, No. 1836 ; Heydemann, p. 26 ;
Arndt's Einzelverkauf, No. 1073).
1711. Water Nymph, or Naiad, recumbent. She reclines on
rocky ground to the right, with the left arm supported
by a vase, from which water is flowing. A mantle is
spread over the left arm, about her legs, and over the
rocks. The head (not original) wears a crown with open-
work of palinettes, pierced. The hair of the present head
is tied in a club at the back, while that of the original
head falls freely down the back. She wears armlets.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 7J inches; length, 3 feet 6^ inches. He-
stored : left hand with vase, and some of drapery, right elbow,
parts of right hand, right foot, hip and shoulder. The toes of
the left foot are wanting. The head is antique, but manifestly
does not belong to the figure. The vase being modern, the
subject is conjectured, but is established by replicas elsewhere,
as for instance at Lansdowne House. lis, Town. Gall., I.,

1712. Female head from a statue, tnrned slightly to its right.
The sockets of the eyes are hollow, having been originally
tilled in with ivory or some other material in imitation of
nature. The hair, flowing from the forehead in long
wavy lines, is gathered up over the top of the head and
falls in a large tress behind. A narrow fillet passes
round the head, and the ears are pierced for earrings. No
certain name can be assigned to the head. It is possible
that a Water Nymph is represented.—Towneleij Coll.
