The present plaster cast is a copy of an ancient Greek statue stored in the Louvre. The sculpture was discovered in 1875 on the sacred road leading to the heraion (temple of the goddess Hera) on the island of Samos. In 1881, the statue was appropriated and taken to the Louvre, where it is still currently stored (Inventory No. Ma 686). The plaster cast from the collections of the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts was made in the Louvre, as evidenced by a metal plate with the inscription “Musée du Louvre” on the back of the plaster figure.

A headless, heavily damaged figure depicts a young woman dressed in the chiton (a long linen shirt) and the himation (a wool coat). The figure probably used to hold the key to the temple in her hand. This key may have referred to the role of women in the temple worship of the goddess.
The so-called Hera of Samos is a typical example of a depiction of the kore (from the Greek: κόρη, kore – girl) specific to archaic Greek sculpture from the 6th century BC. The statue was part of a sculptural group depicting young girls donated to the temple by the Ionian aristocrat Cheramyes. In the past, the inscription with his name was interpreted as the signature of the artist.
