Curatorial note
A muscular, heavier-type leg such as those belonging to Imperial statues in military uniform or nude divinities; from the condition of the surface and the marble it is not inconceivable that this leg belongs with the hands described previously.
Provenance
Unknown but in John Soane's collection by 1811 when it is shown in a watercolour view of his Museum.
