Fisher Boy

The Fisher Boy by Hiram Powers depicts a white marble sculpture of a young boy. The boy has short curly hair and stands with his right leg slightly forward. His left hand touches his forehead, with his elbow bent. His right hand grasps a fishing net. He is barefoot and naked except for the net. The base is round and flat. The base has an inscription: "The gift of Hamilton Smith". The background is plain gray. A shadow is on the left.
