...

The time of manufacture of the Crouching Boy is attributed to the years 1530-1534.

...

Were there really 3D printers back then? :)

It's much simpler - it's a copy of the 2008 Ukrainian Olympic team uniform. Only the bow tie and the colour of the jacket are different.

A completely different impression.
 
Dmitry Fedoseev:

Very interesting, Yuri, are you into high art?

I read somewhere that this boy is something of a runner, taking a splinter out of his leg.

It's not that he's into it, I think it's more correct to say he's always been into it. According to most sources, "The pose of the figure is quite unusual: bent low, he holds the toes of his right foot with both hands, apparently clasping the wound and trying to stop the blood pouring out of it." The sculpture was made during the war between the Italians and the Spanish, and there was a river of blood. It was given by the master to the city of Florence - his hometown - then the Spaniards took it away. And Catherine II bought it back from the Spanish :-) I doubt the Italians would have sold it.

Is it a splinter? I have heard that idea, but it is likely someone's fiction, not very logical, there is no mention of the splinter in historical sources. In fact, no one really knows what he does. Does anyone of us know at least who his great-grandfather worked for, or where your great-grandmother lived and who she was? I think very few people know. And here we have 1530-1534 years :-))

Why aren't the trousers yellow?
 
Yuriy Zaytsev:
...
Yes... artists love to leave mysteries.
 
Alexey Busygin:
Why aren't the trousers yellow?
Only the skirts are yellow, as a symbol of wholeness. The trousers would symbolise separation. Well done designer.

Didn't the Russian national team have yellow trousers because they would have symbolised urine samples for meldonium?

Then they should have worn skirts for the athletes too, not to violate the symbolism. They should have made such a Ukrainian national kilt in yellow colour.
