Ancient Greek relief of a child under a tree

This statue likely depicts a young one grasping the branches of what appears to be a pine tree. This youth embodies the idealized physical characteristics associated with beauty in Ancient Greece. His curvaceous body, robust figure, and unruly locks are archetypal features used to represent children during that era. These same attributes would later be adopted by the Romans for their depiction of "putti" and Cherubs, small winged child-angels with a divine presence.
