I believe this is a plaster (?) copy of an ancient bas relief. It's based on a myth which I no longer remember. I bought it from a catalog that carried copies of famous and not-so-famous pieces.

It would be great to see your work!

I'll upload more art today or tomorrow in the Artist forum! I posted an older 2d piece the other day.

Seems to me that I've posted photos of this particular piece before. It's been a while!

I was using my new lens, the 12--45mm. And I was having fun, with the color and its position on the wall.

Is how the shadows change depending on where you stand, or the time of day.

Very interesting!

I love the sense of motion that this bas relief shows.
