Context:

Namepiece of the Bastis Master. The recognition of distinct artistic personalities in Cycladic sculpture is based upon recurring systems of proportion and details of execution. Stylization of the human body that is elegant almost to the point of mannerism is characteristic of the Bastis Master. Because we do not know the names of most ancient artists, they are given conventional designations. The Bastis Master is named after a distinguished private collector who owned this piece.
