Description
Archer. European School. 18th century Cast and patinated bronze. Measures 12 x 8 cm. A stylised male figure holds a large, taut bow, his torso facing forwards and his head turned in a gesture of concentration. The open silhouette, constructed with long, taut lines, transforms the bow into a structural element that expands the composition’s space. The irregular surface and greenish patina emphasise the metal’s antique character and lend depth to the forms. The anatomical synthesis and restrained expressiveness evoke an archaic interpretation of the heroic figure, suited to the 18th-century collector’s taste for references to Antiquity. Its visual power lies in the tension between verticality, gesture and emptiness, which transforms its small scale into a sculptural presence of remarkable intensity. 12 x 8 cm
