Torso of a Youth

Cleveland Museum of Art

The torso of a youth, depicted by ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles, features a headless, nude male body. The sculpture is crafted from marble, displaying a light brown color with white spots. It has short sleeves and a circular hole where the head would be. The figure stands on a small square base, with the right leg slightly forward and both feet encased in a low rectangular block. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
