This plaster is after Michelangelo’s Moses for the tomb of Julius II. The horns, tablets, and turned torso identify the figure; the right hand draws the beard aside as the seated body shifts.

How to use the model

Examine the work from more than one angle.

Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
