The artwork, titled “Mission,” is a sculpture created by Arno Breker in 1941.
The sculpture depicts a meticulously detailed and anatomically precise male figure in a contemplative pose. The figure is seated on a rock, with one knee bent and resting on the ground, while the other leg is raised, positioning the foot on the rock. The subject’s muscular form is highlighted through carefully sculpted lines, emphasizing the athleticism and idealized human physique. The figure’s gaze projects intensity and determination, embodying a sense of purpose befitting the title “Mission.” The overall composition and execution reflect the artist’s adept skill in portraying the human form with classical precision.
