PRIMARY ATTRIBUTES OF VICTOR STATUES. ibys 
This should be associated with another head in Dresden, both being 
closely related to that of the Westmacott Athlete. The best copy of the 
head is in the Hermitage, in which the treatment of the hair approaches 
nearest to that of the bronze original.?,_ A marble head from Apollonia 
in Epeiros, now in the British Museum, which so closely resembles the 
head of the Westmacott Athlete that the missing sections of the neck and 
shoulders were restored by a cast from the latter, is somewhat different 
in style. For while the Westmacott head is a mechanical copy, this 
Greek head is full of vigor, disclosing Attic characteristics of the early 
fourth century B.C., and obviously is an Athenian imitation of the 
original, like the statue from Eleusis.?- A more remote variant is the 
beautiful marble head formerly in the possession of Dr. Philip Nelson in 
Liverpool, but now in America, which is not an exact copy of any 
of the known variants, but so closely resembles the Capitoline type 
of Wounded Amazon, assigned first by Otto Jahn and later by Furt- 
waengler to Kresilas, that it must be by the same hand.! This head 
also reminds us of that of the Kresilaan Diomedes of the Munich Glyp- 
tothek (Pl. 21),> though the hair-treatment is Polykleitan.6 Both show 
a modification of Polykleitan forms under Attic influence. The numer- 
ous fine copies indicate that the original was a well-known work. That 
it was Polykleitan is clear from a study of the heads, which show a great 
resemblance to that of the Doryphoros, and of the body forms, which 
resemble those of both the Doryphoros and the Diadoumenos. While 
some believe this original a work of Polykleitos himself,’ others think 
that it was by one of his pupils or successors, who imitated the 
master’s early style. If the original, however, was not the statue of 
Kyniskos, there is little evidence that it was by Polykleitos himself. 
The palm-trunk in the Westmacott copy certainly argues that the 
original was an athlete statue. ‘The gesture of the right hand has given 
rise to different interpretations. [he Barracco copy furnishes the 
best evidence, as on it the right arm 1s preserved to the wrist, the hand 
only being lost. Helbig at first (in the Barracco Catalogue) expressed 
the opinion that the right hand might have held an oil-flask, from which 
oil was being poured into the left. However, the position of the left 
hand, as shown by the puntello on the left hip, must have been the same 
as that on the Westmacott copy, 7. ¢., hanging close to the left side.
