I like this catch....sculpture always amazes me. Don't know how people create such beauty from block of stone. Especially like that 2nd snap that shows the door frame too.
Oh, I love Leif's comment!!! Certainly no older than 246!!! And I do love humor in the morning! What a great way to start the day. Marvelous captures as always, JM, even of a old/young Dorian Gray! Enjoy!
Nicely framed. I'm surprised he's still out in the elements. It seemed when I was in Europe that all the originals were placed inside and replicas outside. And speaking of statues, yes Piazza della Signoria is awesome! I could have killed lots of time there!
Oh, gee, I know I read Dorian Gray when I was a teenager, but all I can remember is (1) I hated it and (2) it had something about eternal youth. This lad looks pretty good for his centuries.

He doesn't look a day over 245 years!
Such an interesting way of looking at this lad. He's not nearly as sinister as Dorian.
j'aime bien le titre ;))
@Leif: LOL! Maybe 246, no? :-)
I'd say. Looks pretty good for 250.
If so, then a very young Dorian Gray and he's heavenly!
Brilliant title, JM... Wilde would no doubt approve.

He's looking pretty darn good!
Immortalized in stone! Lovely.
Well preserved, but after all these years spent there, I guess he need a vacation!
Gostei bastante da primeira foto =)

Fantastic details. He's gray at least!!

Wonderful title!
I love the subtle color of the wall. Great sculpture.
Selling his soul to preserve his image certainly seems to have worked for him JM haha!!
Linda escultura!
