33 Inches High x 8 Inches Wide x 6 Inches Deep
This statue was given the name “Idolino,” which means “little idol” or “youth,” in the 19th century. Our reduction cast is a fragment of the original as it is missing its arms and the rest of its legs. The original bronze is a Roman work based on Classical Greek styles, such as the style of the sculptor Polykleitos. The head was given the most detail and attention, however. The statue was discovered in Pesaro, Italy in 1530 and at that time, was holding grape leaves in one hand, probably meant as a support for a tray. Due to the leaves feature and the lack of definition in the body compared to the head, it is thought by scholars that this figure was one of many statues created as supports for oil lamps in the homes of wealthy Romans.
