Dancing Boy

Cleveland Museum of Art

The title of the artwork is "Dancing Boy". The sculpture depicts a boy with a shaved head, wearing a short cape or robe. The boy has one leg bent and raised behind him, while the other leg is planted on the ground. His left arm is bent at the elbow and across his body, and his right arm is extended downward and holds a cloth or fabric that flows behind him. The sculpture is made of dark metal with green and brown patina. The boy stands on a red and black marble base with a black metal bottom plate. The background is a gradient from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
