"A. Falguiers Statue"
The sculpture is cast in patinated bronze, giving it a warm, deep color that accentuates the youth's muscular form. The realistic rendering of the musculature, both in the torso and limbs, is particularly impressive.

The marble base on which the figure rests provides an elegant contrast to the patinated bronze and adds a monumental quality to the overall composition
