Victoire drapée
Description
La déesse allégorique personnifiant la Victoire (Niké) est représentée debout avec les ailes déployées. Elle porte un chiton (longue tunique) sous un himation (manteau de laine) qui recouvre entièrement son corps et une partie de sa tête. La figurine conserve des traces de polychromie jaune ocre. Il est difficile d’attribuer cette œuvre à un atelier précis. Cependant, la qualité de la terre et le travail de l'artisan tendent à replacer cette figurine parmi les productions de Grande-Grèce (Italie du Sud). Marie Nonclercq, d'après la notice d’Évelyne Ugaglia extraite du catalogue « L'art grec au musée Saint-Raymond », 1993 ; Figure féminine ailée (Victoire) vêtue d'un chiton et d'un himation dont une partie de celui-ci est ramenée sur la tête. Ailes déployées. L'himation enveloppe complètement le corps de la figure. Caroline Biro, 2002
