A: “But Anna Anguissola highlights a still more extraordinary aspect of the New York figure, the evidence its marble parts preserve for the original presence of supports and struts, left in position when the figure itself was chiseled free from the marble block”
B: illustrates the effort of restoration in marble art pieces that have structural support.
A. Has supports because it’s a copy of a bronze statue. (Not metal but marble ones)
B. Is talking about adding supports for preservation.
Notably neither talk about metallic struts within the structure as part of its design.

I’m done arguing about this.
The struts are pictured, exterior and marble.
Restoration which includes pinning broken pieces together, again pictured and explained.
I really don’t care.
Neat.
