The Youth (Ephebe) of Marathon.
Bust of the statue representing a youth, perhaps god Hermes. With its soft musculature and exaggerated contrapposto, its style is associated with the school of Praxiteles. The statue was found in the sea of the Marathon bay in 1925.
Dated to ca. 330 – 325 B.C., National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Made of bonded marble and coated with a special bronze patina.
