Provenance: From the collection of J.A. Jerichau (1816–1883), professor of sculpture - Auction 5 May 1884, no. 5. "Standing man with cape on left shoulder. Missing head and arms, legs truncated on the diagonal. Mounted at a pedestal of a later date. Marble sculptures from this collection can today be seen in the collections of the Ny CarlsbergGlyptotek and in the Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities' collection of the National Museum of Denmark.This torso was later purchased by G.A. Sadolin and has been part of his collection until now. The standing motif and small size are well-known from Roman marble statues depicting handsome young men intended for display in a peristyle or garden setting. The cape is rather short, resting only on the shoulder and serving mainly to emphasize the figure's nudity.
