Torso of a Kouros

Cleveland Museum of Art

Torso of a Kouros by unknown artist. A sculpture of a male torso made of light-colored stone, possibly marble, with a rough texture. The sculpture is missing its head, arms, and lower legs. It depicts a muscular torso with defined pectorals and abdomen. The navel is indented. The sculpture stands on a black base. The background is a plain light-colored wall. The figure's hair appears to be short. The pose suggests a traditional ancient Greek kouros stance.
