A powerful and evocative Renaissance-era marble sculpture, hand-carved from solid Carrara marble and presented on a matching raised base. This life-sized fragment depicts a robed figure with richly gathered drapery and traces of flowing, sculpted hair. At the figure’s feet are the remnants of a bird and an open book, symbolizing spiritual or scholarly themes often found in 17th-century Italian religious art.

Executed around 1600 in Italy, this monumental fragment showcases the artistry and presence of high Renaissance sculpture, with visible restorations preserving its form and expression. Ideal for collectors of Continental antiquities or designers seeking a focal point with deep historic and aesthetic significance.
