Plaster cast of a marble copy perhaps from the Augustan period from a bronze origin of Leochares placed in the Theater of Dionysus in Athens (328-326 c.C), preserved in the Vatican Museums. The specimen, of good workmanship, is ascribable to the first decades of the nineteenth century and is indicated in the guide of 1846, in the inventory of 1874 it is mentioned as a gift from C.
