It is in chtysoline marble , and undoubtedly Greek sculpture. Pliny mentions the de¬ sign as the most graceful of all the works of Praxiteles, who first cast it in bronze; it became the standard of excellence, many duplicates in marble were spread over Greece, if. U-hf and in the end made their way into Italy. A figure of the same size, and in the same attitude, constitutes one of the principal ornaments of the Museum at the Louvre; but so sensible are the French artists of the superior excellence of our statue, that the plaster model in their Academy was moulded from it There is also a very fine cast of this identical figure in the Royal Academy at Somerset Place.
