Her attitude, and the motion of her left-hand 
to hold up a part of her garment (as fuffici- 
ently appears from the folds, which are exe- 
cuted with great tafte) might lead us to con- 
jeCture that it isa Spes. This ftatue was 
taken from the Gallery at Verfailles.

a beautiful bas-relief is fixed into the wall, 
It reprefents a Suovetauril, and was formerly 
in the veftibule of the Library of St. Mark,

The pedeftal of the Apollo is on a perron 
two fteps high, fo thatit is elevated above the 
ftatues ftanding near it, and may be feen

miring crowd which is conftantly affembled

now been preferved in the Gallery at Ver~- 
failles. Of hard, rather afh-coloured mar- 
ble. When Girardon repaired it, he put a 
mirror into her left, and an appie into her 
right-hand. By being placed fo near to the 
Capitoline Venus, this ftatue is rather thrown 
intothefhade. Perhaps it would have a more 
pleafing effect, if no ftatue ftood on each fide of 
that of Apollo. 
No. 147. Above the Venus of Arles a bas- 
relief is inferted into the wall, reprefenting 
a Conclamation. It is of Lunefian marble, and

Martin faw it there, and publifhed drawings

was made fo late as the commencement of the 
16th century. .

cade Philofophique, TanYX. No. 5. page 2655
