Description

A headless, standing male nude statue in pale stone, photographed frontally against a grey backdrop. The left arm hangs at the side with a clenched fist, and the right hand rests across the abdomen, while the right leg is broken off below the knee and has a light filler. The figure stands on a plain plinth, and its surface is worn and pitted.
