The artwork is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.

Standing at a height of 32.5 cm, it was discovered on the island of Delos and has become an iconic representation of Greek art. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable.

Her skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while paying homage to one of Greece's most treasured artifacts.
