Thanks!How can you tell the difference between leather and textile from a sculpture? I thought that only D'Amato had this magical ability.
Watch carefully the treatment of the cloth and observe the difference in the treatment of fabric and leather in the Hellenistic sculpture.
It's easy, no need being D'Amato, some love and study of History of Art and .... job done. :wink:
