Engaged Capital with a Supporting (Caryatidal) Figure Flanked by Lions

Cleveland Museum of Art

A stone sculpture of a seated man with a beard and short hair, wearing a robe. The man sits on a flat surface with his knees bent and his hands on his thighs. Two lions stand behind him on either side, their front paws on the ground and their bodies forming a semi-circle around the man. The lions' heads are carved in profile, facing forward. The sculpture is made of a light-colored stone and has a rough texture. The background is black, with a gradient that lightens towards the bottom. The sculpture sits on a white base. The overall appearance suggests an ancient artwork.
