Description

The subject of the cast is an old drunk woman, holding a wineskin in her arms, lying on the ground, with her legs curled up, with her torso raised and her head thrown back. The wrinkled face, desperate and almost grotesque, is characterized by the open mouth and the gaze lost in the void. The body shows the excavation of the bones, the sagging and limp skin. Without the right arm and both feet. The original, from which the cast derives, is located in the Glyptothek in Munich. The original sculpture is in marble, an early 1st century AD copy of an original from the late 3rd century. BC Found in 1620 during the restoration works of the church of S. Agnese fuori le mura, on the Nomentana.
