The statue is more naturalistic than the [[kouros|kouroi]] of the Archaic period, but the pose is rigid when compared with later works of the Classical period. A departure from the Archaic style is the slight inclination of his head to the right. The naturalistic rendering of his feet was greatly admired in ancient times.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} The introverted expression ignores the 'Archaic smile'.
