The nude long haired youth is depicted seated upon a stump deep in concentration as he attempts to remove a thorn from the sole of his foot, his right foot placed flatly upon the ground whilst his left foot is pulled up by his left hand to rest upon his right knee, his left hand pulling at the supposed thorn lodged inside his upturned sole, his head angled to the left as he gazes downward focusing on his task, the whole in plaster and raised on a circular base. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                                                                        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e: 82cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eProvenance:\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eFrom the private collection of Guinevere Weaver, London (2007).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Geddes Antiques \u0026 Antiquities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42379968053330,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2076\/5549\/files\/spinario1.jpg?v=1779859126","url":"https:\/\/grahamgeddesantiques.com.au\/products\/an-english-lead-fountain-feature-of-a-bacchic-putto-gs-321-copy","provider":"Graham Geddes Antiques \u0026 Antiquities ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
