Sculpture reproduction of a young boy who defiantly exposes his nude, lean body while simultaneously crossing his arms protectively, his hidden face betraying anguish and despair. The rendering of his tensed muscles and taut flesh, precariously resting on his very thin legs, makes this a stunning achievement in marble carving. The symmetrical composition gives this small-scale statue a monumental effect.
