ATHLETES, AND SUBJECTS FROM LIFE.
1747. Athletic figure, standing to the front, with the weight
on the right leg. The figure is nude, except for a chlamys
with a fibula on the left shoulder. The chlamys originally
continued nearly to the knee. The right arm is lost from
the elbow, and the left from the middle of the forearm.
The features are ideal and of a somewhat conventional
character. The pose of the figure has probably been
altered by the restoration, which throws the weight too
much on the heels.
The statue is described by Furtwaengler as a work of
the school of Calamis, contemporary with Pheidias, about
440 B.C. This seems, however, to be too early, and the
nearest parallel is the statue of the athlete Agias of
Pharsalos, attributed on the strength of a probable com-
bination of inscriptions to Lysippos.—Farnese Coll., 1864.
Parian marble. Height (without plinth). 6 feet 8 inches. Restored:
legs from knee?, lower part of stump and plinth ; scrotum :
lower part of chlamys. The nose has been restored and removed.
