Etruscan artists looked eastward for inspiration and were greatly impressed by the art of Greece, but the distinctive Etruscan temperament always manifested itself.

The figure's extraordinary force, huge swelling contours, plunging motion, gesticulating arms, fan like calf muscles, and animated face are distinctly Etruscan.
