Saint Sebastian

Cleveland Museum of Art

The statue depicts a male figure representing Saint Sebastian. The man has curly dark hair and is shirtless, with a cloth draped around his waist; the cloth is gold-colored. His left arm is raised above his head, and his right arm is bent at the elbow. He is barefoot and has an arrow protruding from his left thigh and another through his right hand and a branch. The man's body is positioned with his left leg slightly forward. The statue is on a base resembling a tree stump with bare branches. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
