Item Description
This bust depicts a Greek man in the antique manner, the head slightly inclined, the face with idealised features framed by abundant curly hair treated in deep relief. The plaster, patinated to imitate bronze in dark brown tones nuanced with coppery highlights, convincingly imitates antique casting, down to the material effects of the cut at the shoulder. This type of bust after the antique belongs to the great Neoclassical tradition of casting workshops, which in the 20th century disseminated the masterpieces of Greek statuary — one thinks of the Hermes or the athletes of Lysippos — to amateurs, academies and decorators. Condition report: Good overall condition. Sound plaster, even imitation-bronze patina with slight surface wear that is part of the object's charm. A sculpture of fine presence for a bookcase, an entrance console or a desk of Neoclassical spirit.
