Image: Greek - Athlete Discobolos - Walters 54699

Description: The pose and gesture of the athlete suggest that he is a discus thrower preparing for competition. The statuette's stance recalls Classical sculpture, while the long limbs, small head, and exaggerated breadth of the shoulders are characteristic of late Hellenistic works.
