This 1686 marble sculpture is entitled "Pandore". It depicts Pandora, the mythological figure most people know for having released all the evils of mankind.
The work depicts her from her head to her torso. She is undressed but for a flowing cloth that conceals the connection between her body and the pedestal. Her right hand casually holds some of her long hair while the left reaches casually to her right side.
The artist is Pierre Legros (1629-1714).
