Created by the renowned sculptor Praxiteles in the 4th century BC, this bronze sculpture stands at an impressive height of 130 cm. The detail captured in this image highlights the delicate features and athletic physique of a young teenager or athlete. Displayed at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, this masterpiece is a testament to ancient Greek artistry and mythology.
