Foot of "The Greek Slave"

Hiram Powers

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture portrays a human foot and the lower part of an ankle. It is resting on a small slab as if stepping forward. The material looks like marble with a smooth, polished surface in a pale off-white color with slight variations. The sculpture is detailed, depicting the natural curves and contours of a foot and ankle, including toes and tapering up the ankle. It is displayed as a standalone piece without any additional context or elements.
