A Goat

Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a goat in mid-leap, its body in a dynamic pose with its front hooves raised. The material of the sculpture appears to be a dark metal, likely bronze, with a weathered and textured surface appearance in brown and dark greenish-black colors. The goat appears compact and sturdy, with detailed fur texture throughout its body, creating a sense of realism despite its small size.
