Apollo with the Omphalos

Jan de Bisschop, after the Antique

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a classical male figure standing in a relaxed pose. He leans on a fluted column with his left arm and holds a laurel wreath in his right hand. The figure has a stern expression, curly hair tied in a bun, and defined musculature. He stands barefoot, with his right leg slightly bent. The column has a decorative top design, and simple hatched lines in the background provide depth.
