after the Antique

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of a muscular male figure posed dynamically, holding a smaller figure upside down by the leg. The male figure's intricate facial features include a beard and a focused expression. The sculpture is made from dark bronze, giving it a deep, rich color with subtle highlights. The larger figure stands on an abstract base, while the smaller figure appears limp. The sculpture has a rough texture.
