Hyacinth Awaiting His Turn to Throw the Discus
A dark bronze sculpture of a nude young man reclining on his stomach, propped on one elbow with his head turned to the left and one leg extended. The polished surface catches soft highlights against a pale grey backdrop, and the record identifies it as Hyacinth awaiting his turn to throw the discus.
