Description

Originally published in 1927, this book contains analysis on two Greek sculptures, the Constantinople Pentathlete and a draped female figure in Burlington House. Walston compares each piece with similar figures on vases, coins and other forms of sculpture in order to provide each with its appropriate artistic and historical context. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in ancient art.
