You can count on some interesting people at the Villa Getty. This sculpture is of a harpy. I don't remember seeing such chicken legs on a female figure out of stone. Weird, but cool. 
The Roman Ephebe or youth, is on long term loan from Naples. It is actually a lamp that imitates the Greek style. 20-10 B.C. Since it is original bronze, it is pretty impressive.
Of course the best are the two very life- like figures in the garden.
