Chrysippus

Chrysippus, the Greek Stoic Philosopher. This Roman copy, from an original by Eubilides, shows Chrysippus seated and engrossed in thought, clothed with a humble cape (in line with the austerity preached by the Stoics). It was executed at the end of the 3rd century BC. The intense expression on the face, his closed posture, and his outstretched hand recall a tendency widely present in Attic Hellenistic sculpture of the 3rd century BC
