Boy in Cloak

This figure is an exact replica of a renowned Greek sculpture from the 2nd century BC, showcasing a young boy approaching the deity with his hands respectfully concealed beneath his cloak, which would have been placed in a sacred sanctuary. The Romans imbued it with new meaning as a genre representation of childhood, and since then, it has been reproduced numerous times. The delicate lightness and softness of the cloak are strikingly rendered in the hard stone, a true masterpiece of artistry.
