Early Cycladic marble female figure, Early Cycladic II, (2600–2400 BCE),
The recognition of distinct artistic personalities in Cycladic sculpture is based upon recurring systems of proportion and details of execution. The stylization of the human body that is elegant almost to the point of mannerism is characteristic of the Bastis Master.
Marble, Dimensions: H. 24 3/4 in. (62.79 cm)
