Description:
|
Boy with Thorn, also called Fedele (Fedelino) or Spinario, is a Greco-Roman Hellenistic bronze sculpture of a boy withdrawing a thorn from the sole of his foot, now in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, Rome. Recent scholarship has tended to credit this original as a Roman bronze of the first century CE, with a head adapted from an archaic prototype. This is an anonymous marble copy from the end of the 16th century. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
