Rising nearly 20 inches in height, the work incorporates its squared base as part of the sculptural form.

The composition draws upon long standing Classical models that celebrated youth, harmony, and proportion, filtered through the 20th-century revival of Greco-Roman aesthetics. This particular sculpture most likely is of an athlete from that period.
Condition notes include several small chips across the surface, minor wear consistent with age, and a broken curl at the top of the head.
