Description

A full-length statue of a bearded man with a band of curled hair, his right hand raised palm outward and his left hand resting on his chest. A diagonal strap crosses the upper body, and a horizontal join marks the lower garment. The statue stands on a dark wooden base with white cloth against a plain grey backdrop; its matte, pale surface shows fine cracks, mainly on the lower part.
