Crouching Boy is a sculpture of the great Renaissance Italian painter and sculptor Michelangelo, preserved today at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The Crouching Boy is a 54 cm marble sculpture and shows a boy, naked and turned in on himself, perhaps pulling out a thorn from his foot. Even if the statue is not well finished, facial features, hair and body shapes are easily recognizable.
The photo is about people's reaction to the masterpiece sculpture. How the one man is closely leaning in to inspect a fine detail. Most are standing back and looking at the whole piece. Is their reaction based on their cultural biases or simple curiosity.
