Jewish Boy 1892

"Jewish Boy" is a 1892 sculpture by Italian artist Medardo Rosso, known for his pioneering work in the late 19th-century movement of "Pastiche." Rosso's unique use of wax allowed for a raw and impressionistic style, capturing the essence of his subjects rather than their precise details. The sculpture depicts a young boy with a downcast gaze, highlighting the poignancy of childhood and the complexities of identity. Rosso's work often explored themes of poverty, social realism, and the everyday lives of ordinary people.
