| Description |  |
Several features of this work are unusual. Although male figures are rare, they trend to be characterized by an attribute or activity. That is not the case in this example. His hair is clearly indicated and combed back. The upper body it that of a female figure. It is conceivable that the sculptor began a woman and modified the statuette because a change in his commission.
