"A close up view of the lower part of the Achilles, exaggerated to a colossal size ... Women stand below holding garments with which they purpose to drape the statue. One holds a large print of the Achilles at which she stares ecstatically. One lady, wearing a cap in the form of a baron's coronet, has climbed on to the plinth; she addresses the women below, holding out a large chemise and pointing up at the colossal legs behind her."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
