New York Kouros. The New York Kouros is an early example of life-sized statuary in Greece.
The marble statue of a Greek youth, kouros, was carved in Attica, has an Egyptian pose, and is otherwise separated from the block of stone. It is named for its current location, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The statue marked the grave of a young Athenian aristocrat.
