Verified profile

The sculpture depicts a child with a half-open mouth and eyes wide open in the expression typical of infantile faces in the moment before crying. It is a fairly faithful replica of a famous statue, known in literature as "boy with a duck" which depicted a seated child pressing his hand on a duck's neck. The Torcello specimen is part of the insular or microsian copy tradition between the end of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC
