Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Figure by artist, Seated on a base decorated with a design, likely foliage or flowers, a shiny, dark-colored statue depicts a man with a bald head and a wide smile. The man wears a robe that folds over the chest and drapes down to the base. The statue's right hand rests on its left forearm. Wrinkles adorn the face and the neck, and the eyes are partially closed. The base appears to be square-shaped with rounded corners.
