A Day at the
Museum (continued)
This Greek sculpture of a male torso from 450–400 BC has a freshness, vitality, and degree of realism that completely tran-
scends the passage of time. An important aspect of its vitality is the subtle lateral swaying motion of the sculpture.
The sketch was executed with an HB pencil and a kneaded eraser. The line around the figure was intentionally varied to help
capture the rhythm of the figure.
