Youth with Jumping Weights

Cleveland Museum of Art

The statue Youth with Jumping Weights by Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio depicts a nude young boy with short hair. He stands on a flat oval base with his weight shifted to his right leg. His left arm crosses over his chest with a weight in his fist. The right arm extends down with a weight resting on a cylindrical object beside him. The sculpture has a light color with brown stains. The boy's short hair is combed down. The background is dark gray fading to light gray behind the boy.
