Standing Boy c. 16th century

The bronze sculpture "Standing Boy" by Severo da Ravenna, a prominent sculptor of the 16th century, exemplifies the artist's attention to detail and the realistic depiction of human form. The diminutive size of the piece, measuring 9.6 x 4.2 x 2.9 cm, makes it a delicate and intimate work of art, showcasing the mastery of the bronze casting technique prevalent in the Renaissance period. The sculpture's pose, with the boy standing and looking down, evokes a sense of introspection and stillness, characteristic of da Ravenna's artistic style.
