Sampson catalogue states : Fa 4: Statues in several Palaces in Rome etc with other antiquities.
The drawings, by a variety of artists are sometimes stuck to the pages of this volume and do not keep to the place allotted to them by number. Three drawings are missing.

Description

Content (description)

An Egyptian female wearing a wig with two cobras (?) on her forehead stands with her right arm by her side, her left arm bent at the elbow and holding a 'roll' in her left hand between her breasts. The statue seems nude, but there are traces of a skirt over the left leg. At the right is a detail of a hieroglyphic panel, presumably at the base of the statue.
