Description

A headless, nude male statue carved in limestone is photographed from behind against a plain grey backdrop. One arm is bent with the fist near the hip, the other arm is broken off at the shoulder, and the surface shows wear and chipped areas. White paint marks are visible on the ankles, and a dark support rod stands under one leg on a square plinth.
