Some of these artists are so remarkable - truly masters of their craft to turn marble into cloth, flesh and sinew. I also refer 'winged victory of samothrace', 'the rape of prosephina', 'laocoon' and, more recently, the contemporary guy who makes realistic pillows out of marble.

It looks like a wet paper towel to me... It's close, though.
Do you know the name of this sculpture or the name of the artist?
Looks like its "Nymph" by "Giovanni Battista Lombardi"
And yes ofcourse everyone is thirsting over the toes in every thread i have seen.

To hell with your toes, I'm lusting over that water. That's fucking witchcraft, it is
Thank you!
The sculptor must've looked at all those statues that have cloth draped over bodies and said "I can do you one better".
