a.  Gandhara

Explanation:

Gandhara is the school of thought and the art style which developed between the 1st century BC, and 7th century AD. The region where it blossomed is around modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan.

This region had many cultural contacts and influences – there was the place for Buddhist missionaries, and also had intensive contacts with Rome. This is why their school of art includes many techniques and influences that came from Rome, and it has similarities to Greco-Roman art. The style is also called Greco-Buddhist art and is famous for this mixture of different cultural elements, realism, curls, and waves. It is believed that image of Buddha in human form was first developed in this tradition.

1 - since it's a library, i'd like putting a sculpture from ancient greece, probably from the hellenistic epoch.

2 - i'd also like the statue to be from a famous person from that time, a philosopher of possible.

3 - i'd want the statue to be of a man sitting down on a tree stump with a book on his hands (either writing or reading), to demonstrate the love for reading.

4 - i'd also like to have the statue with a darkish colour and high contrast, as well as a statue that resembles balance and a little movement on his head if he is reading or on his hand if he's writing.
