Seated Male Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Seated Male Figure by unknown artist. A black-and-white photograph of a sculpture of a kneeling male figure with a tall, pointed hairstyle. The figure has a wide nose and earrings. He wears no clothing and holds an object in his hands. His right knee is bent and rests on the ground, while his left leg is bent with his foot flat on the ground. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or metal and has a rough texture. The background is a plain surface with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
