Iris, the messenger of gods, appears in the moment of arrival (or departure). Her tunic’s animated folds reveal the moment, just before she is fully rested on the ground: It is pressed against her belly and chest by the wind, but is in the process of being pulled by gravity between her chest and over her right thigh. you almost feel the folds on the chest to bounce back once she becomes stationary a moment after.

Her belt shows traces of Egyptian blue color under special lighting.

Exhibited at the British Museum, London. UK.
