Bust Depicting A Warrior

Elegant bust of neoclassical inspiration depicting an ancient warrior in plaster, probably attributable to the iconography of the Greek world, early 20th century.

The subject is represented with a slightly inclined face, with a thoughtful and solemn gaze, according to an ideal of classical beauty characterized by balance and composure.

The warrior wears a richly decorated helmet, adorned with figurative and phytomorphic motifs in relief, surmounted by a high, finely crafted crest which accentuates the verticality and monumentality of the composition. The anatomical rendering of the neck and chest is accurate and harmonious, while the hair, partially visible under the helmet, is treated with soft incisions. The work rests on a molded turned base, consistent in material and taste.

Dimensions: height 90 cm - width 40 cm
