EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the Roman Hellenistic period, known as "Girls head (Kore)". Created in the 3rd to 2nd century after our era, this piece exhibits an incredibly expressive face with prominent cheekbones that gracefully extend towards the east. The subject's enchanting smile and curly hair further add to her allure. What makes this sculpture even more intriguing is its archaic style reminiscent of Ionie in the 6th century before our era. This ancient aesthetic continued to be celebrated long after its initial flourishing, making it a fascinating blend of different artistic periods. Crafted from marble, this masterpiece has been carefully preserved at the Musee Bonnat de Bayonne.
