This display is featured as part of an exchange of works of art from prestigious European and American museums, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth loaned to the Capitoline Museums refined bronze head of an Apoxyomenos, a figure of an athlete, who has just finished exercising, depicted in the act of cleansing himself in a traditional manner. With a slightly larger head size and, until recently, mounted on a draped bust of Renaissance date, the statue was probably a version of the bronze datable to the fourth century BC.
