La Pudicizia -"Modesty"- ( detail ) Marble by Antonio Corradini is a sculpture completed in 1752 during the Rococo period. Corradini was commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro to sculpt a memorial for his mother in the Cappella Sansevero in Naples, where the marble sculpture still remains.The figure is in a contrapposto stance, having her weight on one foot more than the other. This pose gives her human-like qualities and a motion as if she is in the middle of an action. The way her classical drapery falls on her body also shows this movement.

This piece symbolizes modesty and virtue, themes highly valued in the Rococo period, reflecting the delicate interplay between beauty and moral ideals.
