Note 990 — Chapter III · VICTOR STATUES REPRESENTED AT REST.

Reading edition

While Schrader (op. cit., p. 313) dates it in the last quarter of the sixth century B. C., Dickins finds it earlier than the remnants of the sculptures of the Hekatompedon and, because of the delicate carving of the drapery and hair, despite its Attic features, calls it “typically Ionian in its elaboration of detail.” However, I follow Overbeck’s date at the beginning of the fifth century B. C. (op. cit. p. 204), and believe that it represents a time near the close of Ionic influence on Attic art.
