Discus throwing Youth

This picture is probably recognizable to any of you who have looked at a text on Ancient Rome. It is actually a copy of a Greek Bronze original, and was prized in its day, for its activity and life (personally, I think that it does not show life very well - indeed it looks like a still life), but it is beautifully carved.

This picture was just placed in one of the stairwells, not particularly well protected (another example of what I had said in my previous post).
