Ombra della sera (Italian for "Shadow of the evening") is an Etruscan statue from the town of Velathri, later Volterra. It was first depicted in a 1737 collection of Etruscan antiquities. [1] Similarities to the work of modern artist Alberto Giacometti have been frequently observed. [2]
The statue represents a nude male, 57.5 centimetres (22.6 in) long, with very elongated body but head in normal proportions. It is estimated by archaeologists to date from the third century BC. [3]
