This image depicts a marble statue of an Ephebe from Tralles, isolated against a black background. The statue, likely representing a young athlete, exudes a sense of calm and relaxation as the figure leans against a tall rectangular pillar. The youth, perhaps tired after a rigorous training session, is draped in a mantle made of felt, reminiscent of those worn by shepherds in modern times. The statue showcases the athletic build of the young man, with well-defined muscular legs, and his feet are adorned with leather sandals, fastened at the ankles with long straps. The detailed craftsmanship highlights the naturalistic pose and the intricate folds of the mantle. This statue, which is 148 cm high, was discovered in Tralles (modern-day Aydın Province in Turkey's Aegean Region) and is dated to the late 1st century B.C., making it a remarkable example of ancient Greek art and culture. The black background emphasizes the statue's elegance and the fine details of the marble work, drawing attention to its historical significance.
