A Child Standing

Severo da Ravenna

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a small child in a tunic-like garment with bare feet, looking downward. It is made to appear bronze-like with a metallic sheen. The sculpture is mounted on a dark cylindrical pedestal, providing visibility and height. The figure includes details such as the child's curled hair and fabric folds. The child holds an object in one hand and a sling over the shoulder.
