What are the characteristics of sculptural figures in the Late Archaic period (540-480 BC)?

In the second half of the 6th century BC, that is, the late Archaic period (540 ~ 480 years ago), the Greek artists were finally able to be more skillful and free to shape the figure in accordance with the laws of human anatomy. At this time, the posture of the sculpted figures gradually got rid of the dull upright mode and became natural and flexible, and the Greek sculptors also combined the pursuit of decorative effect with the pursuit of natural reality to create a dignified and elegant style. At the end of this period, the figure of the statue began to have a sense of movement, Eastern sculpture continued for thousands of years of frontal symmetrical structure was broken, although some statues still retained the frontal type. However, the sides of the body are no longer symmetrical, the head and the upper part of the body are slightly turned, and the legs are shown in the posture of bearing heavy loads. Discovered in the Acropolis of Athens Maiden statue is representative of its lineage with the Berlin female statue, stance calm, vivid facial expressions, clothing changes are particularly subtle, although rich in decorative, but with the character of the action changes and body undulation changes, people feel that the whole statue is very elegant and delicate.
