Curator's comments: The original is in Florence, Museo Archeologico (?) The right hand of the statuette is drawn as missing. The figure is perhaps from a cista lid, as the two figures on a cista in the Villa Giulia, from the Barberini collection (Giglioli, L'arte etrusca, pl. CCXCIII). [this information from: C. C. Vermeule, The Dal Pozzo-Albani Drawings in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities of the British Museum (type-written manuscript in G&R)]
