Synopsis: This is an image of a marble sculpture of a standing man with his head at the top of the page and his feet at the bottom of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the right way up. The man is facing forward. The head is upright and facing slightly to the right so one blank eye can be found but the other is largely hidden by the nose. He has medium length curly hair. He is naked with a sculpted cloth over his shoulder held by his bent arm on the right. The arm to the left hangs down straight. The body is slim and slightly muscular. The statue is in a classic pose with the body's weight on the leg to the left and the right leg relaxed to the right. The hips are level, the waist is slightly to the right and the shoulders tilted to the left. The statue stands on a low plinth. There is a small stump of wood behind his leg on the left in the bottom centre of the page.
