Description
Pair of terracotta ladies, Italian School, early 19th century Polychrome and gilded terracotta. Figure dimensions: 150 x 50 x 40 cm; Base dimensions: 38 x 55 x 55 x 55 cm; Total: 188 x 55 x 55 x 55 cm. The work shows a standing female figure, with a classical bearing and dynamically draped clothing, crafted with a sculptural sense that emphasizes both the anatomy and the richness of the drapery. The modeling of the face and the arrangement of the body convey elegance and a clear neoclassical inspiration, characteristic of the early 19th century, a period in which sculpture sought to recover the harmony of Classical Antiquity. The gilded surface and the chiaroscuro effects in the folds provide monumentality and an ornamental character that enhances its presence in space. This is a work of great aesthetic value, which combines technical virtuosity and the historicist sensibility characteristic of European sculpture of the period.
