The marble statue of the Dying Slave is 2.15 meters high. It depicts a superbly young handsome man who falls into peace and blissful peace. His strong young body is engulfed in a rush of inner experiences. The nudity shows great vulnerability, and little resistance is shown in the silky contours of the arches, the extended left arm, and the relaxed abdomen. The left wrist is strapped to the back of the neck, and there is a band around the chest. The right leg pressed through is as contrary to the dying impression as the detached facial expression. There is also a partially shown monkey that is holding the man's left shin. This animal is the Latin symbol of artistic craft.
