Custom natural marble statue | Life-size stone sculpture
Almost alarming in the natural way he sits on his stone seat, one arm draped casually across his knee, his head tilted and turned just so as if looking off in some thought, deep yet meandering, this life sized marble statue is the epitome of realism stone sculpture. The wavy hair and ideal nudeness suggest the ever-famous Greco-Roman marble style, but it is amazing to consider the extent of the mastery that artists, even back then, had over replicating human anatomy and the physical form.
The leather straps of his sandals crisscross over his splayed feet, each resting just so on the stone surface of his seat, as if he has been sitting for a while but is always, ever, on the verge of finishing his meditation and standing up again.
