This photograph, taken between 1880 and 1920 by James Anderson, depicts a Roman marble copy of the Greek bronze sculpture "Apoxyomenos" by the renowned sculptor Lysippus. The sculpture, which is now housed in the Vatican Museums, shows a young athlete scraping the sweat and oil from his body after a contest, capturing a moment of quiet reflection amidst the intensity of athletic competition. This photographic record of the sculpture offers a glimpse into the world of Classical art and its enduring influence on later generations.
