19 Inches High x 13 Inches Wide x 10 Inches Deep
The torso leans to the right and forward while sitting on a cloth-draped seat of some kind. The subject’s hair falls on her shoulders. The antique P.P. Caproni and Brother catalogs identify this piece as "Isis, seated." Isis is the Egyptian goddess of motherhood, magical healing, and mourning. On the fragmented left leg is an inscription beginning with "Torso de female." The fourth and final word may be "Isis" or a misspelling thereof. Vincent van Gogh painted a cast of this piece in 1887-1888.
