Estatua de un hombre en actitud de marcha

Old Kingdom
ca. 2575–2465 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 100
Esta vigorosa figura masculina, creada para la tumba de un importante personaje en el sur de Egipto, tiene los hombros anchos, la cintura estrecha y las extremidades musculosas de un atleta. La manos y los pies son especialmente grandes y la postura canónica, con un pie adelantado en actitud de marcha, está ejecutada de un modo casi agresivo. La boca grande bajo el estrecho bigote da al rostro de este hombre de la era de las pirámides un aire resuelto y decidido. Los profundos surcos a ambos lados de la nariz le confieren individualidad.
