A young, nude, winged child sits with one finger raised to his lips as he looks out from under his eyebrows and smiles in this freestanding bronze sculpture. In this photograph, the child’s body faces us as he tips his head down and slightly to the right. He has short, wavy hair and delicate features. His shoulders lean to our left, and his knees are close together. He leans onto his right hip, also to our left, and rests his other hand down by his side to touch the feathered ends of arrows in a quiver there. He sits on a smooth rock in front of the quiver, and a gilded rose and ribbon lie near his feet.
