Cleveland Museum of Art

Torso of Apollo: Fragment of Goat Skin Drapery by Bertel Thorvaldsen. The image shows a sculpture of a torso made of stone or marble. The sculpture is light beige with brown spots. It appears to be a fragment, with the top and bottom broken off. The sculpture depicts drapery, specifically what appears to be a goat skin, with folds carved into the stone. The folds are deep and have a three-dimensional appearance. The background of the image is a gradient that goes from dark gray to light gray.
