- Important sculpted marble bust after the Belvedere Apollo.

- The bust has a chlamys tied with a round fibula on the left shoulder, it covers the shoulder strap with a quiver. The head turned to the right reveals abundant hair, shaped in long wavy locks, some of which are brought back and tied on top of the forehead. This hairstyle is frequently found in bathing Aphrodites, notably the Capitoline Aphrodite (Greece, 2nd century BC).

- The head is sculpted in white marble, and is set in a veined breccia marble bust. The pedestal is made of black marble. These different types of marble offer a variety of colors and textures that punctuate the sculpture.

- The Belvedere Apollo is a marble considered to be the Roman replica (before the middle of the 2nd century AD) of a Greek bronze original dating from the second half of the 4th century BC. AD). The discovery of this ancient marble took place at the end of the 15th century in Italy. It joins the papal collections under the pontificate of Julius II, it is placed in the Belvedere Palace, in the courtyard of the statues. Much admired, this work receives its finest consecration in the laudatory lines of Winckelmann who saw in it a supreme expression of Greek art "the highest ideal of art among all the ancient works that have come down to us".

- Dimensions: Height: 76.5 cm, width of the bust: 60cm
