Standing Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Standing Figure" by Alberto Giacometti depicts a human figure carved from dark green stone with a shiny surface and visible texture. The figure has a large head, a distinctive facial structure with a prominent nose, and closed eyes. It has a small, compact body with its arms held slightly away from its sides, palms facing downwards, and fists clenched. The figure stands on two legs with its feet positioned close together, toes pointing forward. The background is a gradient of dark to light gray.
