EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient world - a reclining female figure, belonging to the early Spedos variety of Early Cycladic II. Carved out of marble during the Bronze Age in approximately 2600-2500 BC, this delicate statuette stands at a height of 14.7 cm. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this piece are truly awe-inspiring. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of femininity through the gentle curves and graceful posture of the reclining figure. With her arms crossed over her chest, she exudes an air of tranquility and introspection. As we gaze upon this ancient relic, we are transported back in time to an era when art was not merely decorative but held deep symbolic meaning. This sculpture serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural significance that prevailed during that period. The nudity depicted here is not meant for titillation or provocation but rather represents purity and vulnerability. It reminds us that our human form is both beautiful and fragile, transcending time itself. Now preserved within a private collection, this exquisite artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we have been granted access to appreciate and admire an extraordinary piece from our distant past – a true treasure from antiquity.
