Kneeling Figure of Musician or Dancer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Kneeling Figure of Musician or Dancer by ancient Greek artist depicts a small, weathered sculpture of a person. The person has a head with a distinctive nose and mouth, and appears to have their right arm bent at the elbow with the hand near their chest. Their left arm is not visible. The person has a rounded body and is kneeling on both knees. The entire sculpture appears to be made of stone or metal and has a rough, aged texture with white and gray patches. The figure's facial features are minimal, and the overall appearance is one of simplicity and age.
