Kore figures from the Archaic period were fully clothed, stylized, and very rigid.
Peplos Kore was smooth with feminine curves, while still showing some Geometric conventions.
Female figures evolved as the male figures did throughout the Classical era but were still fully clothed.
Praxiteles created the first completely nude figure with soft and curving figure of Aphrodite of Knidos.
Her figure is strong and well toned and stands in the contrapposto pose.
From the Hellenistic era, Nike Adjusting Her Sandal is full of movement and emotion.
