Statuette d'un homme en marche

Old Kingdom
ca. 2575–2465 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 100
Sculpté pour le tombeau d’un dignitaire du sud de l’Égypte, ce personnage masculin se caractérise par les solides épaules, la taille étroite et les membres musclés d’un puissant athlète. Ses mains et ses pieds sont particulièrement grands, et sa posture, conforme aux canons de l’époque, est presque agressive. Sous une fine moustache, la large bouche exprime la détermination. Les plis profonds autour des narines donnent aux traits du visage encore plus de caractère, comme il sied à un homme de l’âge des pyramides.
