Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this exquisite piece was discovered in Civita Lavinia, Italy in 1764 and later restored by B. Cavaceppi's workshop around 1765.
Thetis stands gracefully with her flowing robes cascading down her body as she exudes an air of divine beauty and power. This statue belonged to a set of ten deities from the collection of Cardinal Alexander Albani (1692-1779), showcasing its historical significance and artistic value.
The intricate details carved into the marble bring this mythological character to life, highlighting her importance in ancient Greek culture. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture is truly remarkable, capturing Thetis' feminine grace and strength with precision.
