Note: This three-figure wax-model illustrates the compositional development of the Giambologna's colossal marble sculpture the Rape of the Sabines in the Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence. In the group on the right the figure of the Sabine is hollow, which suggests that it was cast from an earlier model. The model is extensively damaged, and the following parts are missing: the head and fingers of the raised left hand of the crouching figure, the head of the standing man, the head, left arm, right elbow and forearm, right ankle and foot and left leg of the female figure.
