Description
Seated goddess wearing a headdress. Grand Tour style. Italian school. 19th century
Cast bronze, chiselled and patinated on a marble base. Base measures 12 x 25.5 cm; figure 9 x 2.5 cm. A seated female figure, adorned with a long tunic with vertical folds and an elevated headdress, conceived as an archaeological evocation of a deity from classical antiquity. The frontal pose, the hieratic posture of the body, and the linear rendering of the drapery reinforce its ceremonial character. The striking green patina accentuates the effect of antiquity and contrasts with the austere stone base. The piece is part of the 19th-century Italian Grand Tour tradition, intended for travellers and collectors drawn to classical culture. Its appeal lies in the synthesis of archaeological scholarship, cabinet-piece format and decorative refinement. Base 12 x 25.5 cm; figure 9 x 2.5 cm
