1905 Photolithograph Statue Art Greek Lysippos Apoxyomenos Scraper Votive XGKA6

This is an original 1905 black and white photolithograph of an ancient Greek athlete scraping the seat and dust from his body using a strigil. It was sculpted by Lysippos of Sikyon around 330 BCE. In 20 BCE, Roman emperor Tiberius was so taken by the piece that he had it moved into his bedroom, where he likely used the arms for hanging his toga before he went to sleep at night.
