Christ at the Column

Johann Baptist Hagenauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The gold statue depicts a man with long hair. He wears a short cloth around his waist. The man is bent over with his arms behind his back and hands clasped together. A chain runs from his wrists to a pillar-like object which he leans against. His right leg is straight and behind him while his left leg is bent. The man appears to be naked from the waist up. He has detailed facial features. The statue sits on an octagonal base.
