Inscribed below: Pretresse/ Cette figure antique represente une pretresse. C'est ce qui s'apercoit aisement a son air religieux, et a son long/ habillement. Comme le sculpteur ne lui a donne aucuns attribus particuliers qui apprennent soit la Nation, soit le/pays, soit le dieu, ou la deesse qu'elle servoit, on est dispense d'en dire icy d'avantage. Cette statue antique de/ marbre est placee dans la grande Gallerie a Versailles, et dessinee et gravee par S. Thomassin Graveur du Roi 1722.
