Marble torso of a boy

Roman

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 164

Variant of a Greek bronze statue of the late 5th century B.C.

The so-called Narcissus was one of the most popular Greek statues copied in the Roman period; over forty examples are known today. Here, the pose has been
reversed, perhaps because the work was to be shown in a decorative setting as a mirror image with another copy.
