The opening of the book introduces the subject of ancient sculpture, beginning with Egyptian art. It discusses the early practices and techniques of Egyptian artists, highlighting notable figures such as the sculptor Martisen, and describes the unique characteristics of their sculpture, including its stiff poses and lack of action.
