The Sluggard 1886 - 1901

"The Sluggard," a bronze sculpture by Frederic Leighton, depicts a nude male figure standing with one arm raised and the other resting on his hip. The figure's relaxed pose and languid expression reflect the title, suggesting a moment of idleness or contemplation. Created between 1886 and 1901, the sculpture showcases Leighton's mastery of anatomical detail and his interest in classical themes. This bronze sculpture is a testament to Leighton's enduring legacy as a prominent figure in the Victorian era.
