CIRCA 1ST CENTURY A.D.

This torso depicts a youthful figure with well-defined musculature. His left leg is relaxed and slightly advanced, causing a pelvic thrust to his right. His now-missing right arm was once raised while his left arm was pulled back. The type is likely a Roman adaption of a Greek original from the late Classical Period and recalls works associated with Praxiteles, such as his statue of “The Satyr Pouring Wine.” For a similar example now at the Getty Villa but with the hip thrust to the left, see p. 217 in Settis, et al., eds., Serial/Portable Classic: The Greek Canon and its Mutations.
