Sculptor, American, 1863 - 1937

The sculpture depicts a nude figure of a slender and athletic individual in a dynamic pose, seemingly in motion. The figure is looking straight ahead with one arm raised overhead and the other bent. The sculpture is made from a material that appears to be a dark, polished bronze. The figure stands atop a carved pedestal that is adorned with floral motifs and ribbon-like designs. The pedestal is crafted from a wood-like material or has a wooden finish, with a rich, brown color. The sculpture stands as a testament to classical sculptural artistry.
