    Artwork

    The sculpture depicts a nude male figure standing in a relaxed contrapposto pose, leaning slightly on a smooth, polished tree stump or column. The figure's right hand rests on top of his head, while his left hand holds a bow, with a quiver of arrows attached to the tree stump. The figure's body exhibits realistic anatomical details and an expression of calm on his face. The sculpture is crafted from dark bronze, giving it a deep, rich coloration with a reflective surface that highlights its detailed features. The contrasting element of the sculpture is the light brown marble-like material of the tree stump. The sculpture stands on a black, rounded base.
