Alexandre Charpentier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a male figure in a squatting pose, leaning forward with both arms resting on a ledge or bar. The subject is entirely nude, revealing a detailed portrayal of the human form with emphasis on muscles and posture. The sculpture is crafted from a dark, bronze-colored material. The surface appears polished and slightly reflective. The artwork is presented on a square, flat tabular surface. The sculpted figure appears almost life-sized in proportion.
