English: Photograph of a cast (scale 1:1) of the Gradiva in the priv. collection of the photographer.[1] The Gradiva (Latin: She who walks) forms part of a composition of three female figures, the Aglaurids (Agraulids), deities of the nightly dew, from a neo-Attic Roman bas-relief, probably after a Greek original from the 4th century B.C..The Gradiva fragment is held in the collection of the Vatican Museum Chiaramonti, Rome; Cat. No. 1284. The left figure in this relief acquired its name from a novella by Wilhelm Jensen: Gradiva. A Pompeian Fantasy (1903). The actions and dreams of the protagonist of this novella were famously analysed by Sigmund Freud in his study: Delusion and Dream in Jensen's Gradiva(1907).
Hauser (1903, p.100) [2] gives the height of the first Agraulide (Gradiva) as 0.64m, the height of the relief plate as 0.735m.
