About the sculpture
This statuette represents Lucretia and is probably made in Italy in the 17th century.
Lucretia Romana was a Roman heroine and had a tragic death in 510 BC, which had far reaching consequences for the Roman Empire. She was raped by Sextus, son of the tyrant Tarquin the Proud, and subsequently took her life. This led to a rebellion by Brutus, nephew of Tarquin, in which Tarquin and his family were forced into excile.
