Made in Cavaceppi’s workshop, the Togaed Figure was first placed in Palazzo Torlonia in 1802, but was later moved several times at Villa Torlonia and was found in a niche of the Tribuna con Fontana.
The statue was originally created with a head (later deemed unnecessary). In the eighteenth century restoration work was undertaken on the right foot, lower section of the neck, right arm and left hand.
An idea of the original state of the work is given by an engraving by Vitali.
