Relief of Apollo with Nike

Cleveland Museum of Art

Relief of Apollo with Nike: A white marble relief sculpture depicting Apollo and Nike. The relief features two figures: a man on the left and a woman with wings on the right. The man, Apollo, wears a long, draped garment and holds a bow and quiver of arrows. The woman, Nike, also wears a long dress; she is winged and holds a ribbon or fillet. The two figures extend their hands towards each other. The relief rests on a dark background, and the marble has visible cracks and discoloration. The rectangular relief has a rough, unfinished edge on the left side. The figures have detailed features, with folds in their clothing and textures of their hair. The relief appears to be an ancient Greek artwork.
