"The Little Fisherman".

"little fisherman" is a 1.3m "lifelike" marble, full-length, decorative sculpture. It represents a naked child, who is trying to remove the hook from a fish he has caught. Body performance and facial expression emphasize movement and effort. The work has classicist influences and origins from the art of the Hellenistic period (Hellenistic Rococo). It is superbly placed in its setting, in the middle of a man-made Zappeion pond, which reinforces the theme.
