The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd by George Minne. A sculpture of a boy sitting on a clear rectangular base. The boy has curly hair and wears a tunic with a belt. His right elbow rests on his right knee, and his hand supports his head. His left leg is crossed over his right. He holds a shepherd's crook over his left shoulder. The sculpture appears to be made of carved stone or wood with a light brown color. The background is a gradient gray.
