Which Greek sculptor created the Hermes and the Infant Dionysus, discovered at Olympia in 1877 and possibly an original 4th-century BCE work?

Praxiteles (c. 395-330 BCE) was famous for introducing the S-curve (contrapposto) into sculpture and for his sensual marble style; the Hermes found at Olympia is one of the few possibly extant originals.
