If this is not immediately obvious to the reader, the comparison of a closely allied head may make it clear. The general form of the head, the rendering of the hair, the anatomy of the forehead, the form of the nose and the angle it makes with the forehead these and other features noted by Professor Furtwangler are alike in the Discobolus and the Riccardi head.
Christy betted a friend that he could not hoax them with a forged palaeolithic drawing. Furtwangler and Mr. Cecil Smith at odds as to whether a head of Zeus in terra-cotta be of the fifth century B.C. or, quite the contrary, of the nineteenth or twentieth century A.D. Verily all "practised people" do not find "antiquities as readable as print." On the other hand, my late friend, Dr.
Vasari, on the contrary, a surer critic, considered them worthy to be placed beside Michel Angelo's "David"; but it remained for Furtwangler to restore them to their true position as a work of the Periclean age, although copied by Italian sculptors.
This is but a poor copy of the original; but he penetrated the motive of the sculptor with those deep-seeing eyes of his, and there is no analysis of an ancient statue by Brunn or Furtwangler that equals Hawthorne's description of this one.
