Extract

Passing through the rotunda of the Berlin museum before the war, many visitors have probably paused to look at a graceful statue of a young woman in a pose of adoration. Much of its elegance the statue owes to the graceful attitude of the hands, which are modern, and to the small head, which does not belong; but even if we think away these and other features which do not appear original, it remains a statue of quality. This femina orans does not stand alone, and more than one scholar has given lists of replicas.
