Bronze statuette of a hunter
The identification of the figure depends on the conical cap—the felt pilos often worn by hunters—as well as on the pose. The study of movement engaged the artists making small bronzes as much as those who were decorating vases. The hunter's forcefulness derives from the sensitive rendering of the musculature as well as from the projection of his right heel beyond the plinth. His action seems to burst the confines of his allotted space.
