Studie van een staande Apollo met lier, voor een tuinbeeld. c. 1725

This terracotta sculpture by Ignatius van Logteren, dating from around 1725, depicts a headless Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, and light, standing with a lyre in his hand. Although the sculpture is incomplete, the artist's skill in capturing the figure's dynamic pose and the realistic detail of the drapery is evident. The unfinished state of the sculpture suggests it may have been a study for a larger, more finished work. This piece is a testament to van Logteren's talent for creating expressive and lifelike figures, a hallmark of the Baroque style.
