The Boxer of Thermon.
It is perhaps the only authentic surviving work of Lysippos in bronze.
The creator has chosen to represent the athlete, the moment the
judges are ready to announce the winner.
The "Boxer" who is probably unable to hear due to his
injuries, looks at them and the crowd to verify the result.
The wounds in his face have been added besides with pure pieces of
bronze.
