kouros

Description

.This kouros is very well-preserved and currently resides in the Glyptothek Museum in Munich. Like other kouroi, it advances with its left foot while keeping its arms close to its sides. Attic sculptors, like those who carved this kouros, preferred to emphasize musculature. This tendency is clearly seen in this later, more naturalistic statue.
