Kneeling Man with Expressive Face
     Return to Terra Cotta Page
This statue is quite unique.  One notices, in this sculpture, an expressive face almost playful, reproduced
with a remarkable precision. The ears, eyes, open mouth which shows the drawn tongue and a full beard
create an astonishing work of art.  The breasts are separated by the arms with the hands resting on the
cheeks. .
