cma-european-art: Male Figure, Ignaz Günther , c. 1760, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and SculptureThis sensuously carved figure probably functioned as a term, an architectural element that incorporates a head and torso atop a tapering pillar typically used as a decorative support, for example on either side of a doorway. The sculpture was likely originally gilded, which would have enhanced appreciation of the torso’s beautifully articulated musculature.Size: Overall: 95.3 x 65.4 x 31.8 cm (37 ½ x 25 ¾ x 12 ½ in.)Medium: lindenwoodhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1973.101 -- source link
