Preliminary Model of Male Figure from Fountain of Engineers

A bronze sculpture of a seated, nude male figure with a muscular torso, bent head, and one hand raised near his chest. He sits on a draped cloth over a rough, textured rectangular base, his left leg bent and the other extended downward. The dark patina shows lighter wear on the raised surfaces.
