LB 92 Bust of the Ephebe of Marathon h. cm. 33

In our collection of plaster cast busts there is a reproduction of the bust depicting the Ephebe of Marathon, made of antique patinated white plaster, suitable only for indoor placement.

The original statue of the Marathon Ephebe is a bronze sculpture, preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, found in 1925 in the Aegean Sea, near Marathon. The sculpture depicts a naked young man, probably an athlete, in a moving position, and is attributable to the Praxitelian school.
