AI overview
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview of "Praxiteles" based solely on the image caption provided. The caption only shows a sculpture title without information about who or what Praxiteles was, why the work matters, or its historical significance. To provide an accurate 2-sentence overview, I would need context that actually explains Praxiteles' identity and importance.

Praxiteles (; ) of Athens, the son of Cephisodotus the Elder, was the most renowned of the Attic sculptors of the 4th century BC. He was the first to sculpt the nude female form in a life-size statue. While no indubitably attributable sculpture by Praxiteles is extant, numerous copies of his works have survived; several authors, including Pliny the Elder, wrote of his works; and coins engraved with silhouettes of his various famous statuary types from the period still exist.
