MALE TORSOES.

2031. Torso of a made youth, broken off at the knees; the
head and arms, which were separately attached, are
wanting. The figure stands
on the left leg, with the right
knee bent and with the right
shoulder raised, and must have
been leaning heavily with the
right arm on a support, of
which traces remain by the
right side. Tresses of curling
hair fall on the shoulders. The
figure was compared by Sir C.
Newton with the figure of
Hypnos (Sleep) at Madrid
(Arch. Zeit., 1862, pi. 157),
but the pose appears to be
different. The long curls sug-
gest Hymenaeus (cf. No. 1703).
