Description:
Drawn from another plaster cast at the Cleveland School of Art, The Wrestlers is a dynamic Roman marble sculpture after a lost Greek original of the third century BCE. It currently resides in the Uffizi collection in Florence, Italy. Later when Wilcox was a teacher, he recalled that there was a "destruction of casts at the School. All the lesser casts were used to ballast a new parking space... Thus, cast drawing was put to an end."
