Female robe statue, property of the Stiftung Hamburger Kunstsammlungen and Marble, chiseled, drilled, Marble, Total: Height: 215 cm; Width: 68 cm; Depth: 45 cm, Three-dimensional pictorial works, Sculptures, Woman, Middle Empire, Roman Antiquity, Trajan, This is the honorary statue of a famous woman of the bourgeoisie, which was probably placed on a raised pedestal in a public square. The superficial folds of the backside, which are only slightly deep, indicate that it was placed in a niche. The slightly larger-than-life female figure is completely wrapped in an elaborately draped cloak. While the right hand is raised in front of the chest and only slightly touches the cloak, the left hand holds together the robe falling down over the left thigh. The female figure is standing on her right foot, the left game leg is angled, slightly back and set to the side. The cloak, gathered to the middle of the thigh on the left side of the body and ending directly below the knee on the right side, reveals underneath it a fine undergarment that is tightly attached to the game leg and falls down to the floor. The depiction leans quite freely on Greek statue types of the late classical period of the 4th century B.C. and reminds us, in a distant way, of the Little Herculan Woman. Due to the hairstyle, the statue can be dated to Trajan times.
