This finely modeled statuette is a delightful evocation of everyday Greek life. The twenty-four centuries that separate us from this intimate moment, captured on the spot, fade away, giving way to a feeling of great proximity. This votive work is of great originality and it is difficult to find any parallel in public or private collections.
