Description

A limestone statue of a standing nude male shown in side view, with one arm raised so the hand rests at the top of the head and the other arm held down at the side. The head turns in profile with short curled hair, and visible breaks cross the thighs and knees. The figure stands on a wooden block base against a plain pale wall, casting a soft shadow to the left.
