This sculpture, though rugged in form, emanates a profound presence. The flowing folds of the robe and the downward tilt of the face create an atmosphere of quiet introspection rather than heaviness. The figure’s gaze upon the book conveys a sense of deep thought and watchful contemplation. Even the animal figure at the base seems to share in this silent moment. More than just a sculpture, it feels like a piece of stillness made visible—a mood captured in stone.
