专家说明

Originating from an archaistic style Kitharodic relief, this example portrays Leto walking to the right and lifting her mantle, an exact parallel to a more complete fragment in the British Museum (inv. no. 1816,0610.190; see no. 775 in A.H. Smith, A Catalogue of Sculpture in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, vol. I). The type portrayed Leto and her two children, Artemis and Apollo, walking towards Nike, who pours a libation into Apollo’s patera. The tall column behind Leto would have supported a votive tripod. The scene is preserved on a handful of examples, the most complete of which is in the Villa Albani, Rome, no. 351 in E. Simon, “Apollon/Apollo,” LIMC, vol. II.
