In 1839 the 6th Duke of Devonshire acquired this colossal marble foot, and later recorded its provenance:
"The great ancient Greek foot was sold to me by Carlo Finelli, the sculptor in Rome: it belonged to the Quinigi [Guinigi] family at Lucca and was long in their palace."
The foot is wearing an ancient form of sandal. It is proposed that the feet were part of a colossal statue of a seated Greek god or goddess that may have stood approximately 11 metres high.
It is likely that the feet formed part of an acrolith.
This is a composite statue where the exposed flesh parts such as feet, hands and head are made of marble, and the clothed parts made of another material, such as wood.
There is a similar right foot at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, which is believed to match the left foot at Chatsworth.
